Adoption went awry - no affidavit of relinquishment

Court of appeals sends case back to the trial court to substantiate reasons for SAPCR order.

ABATED: (Before Justices Patterson, Puryear and Henson)

In the Interest of E. N. C.--Appeal from 169th District Court of Bell County

The absence of findings of fact and conclusions of law in the judgment prevents us from conducting a meaningful review of the district court's decision. Accordingly, we abate the appeal and send it back to the district court with instructions that the district court enter findings and conclusions supporting its order and file the requested findings and conclusions with this Court within 30 days of the date on this order.
