### TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEA LS:

Appellant Texas Department of Family & Protective Services (“DFPS”)

respectfully requests that this Court dissolve the Temporary Injunction issued by the

D istrict C ourt

.

I. Statement of the Case and Procedural History

.
An employee of Brilliant Starts’ Learning Academy, LLC (“daycare”)

intentionally and routinely assaulted many children in care. RR Vol. 1 1 

### at 86 and

Defendant’s Exhibit 1 2 

### (video excerpts of assaults)

. When DFPS became a ware that

2 of the 3 owners of the daycare were indicted on felony charges of failure to report

child abuse, DFPS issued an emergency order, closing the daycare for 30 days, while

DFPS attempted to complete an investigation concerning the injuries. RR Vol . 1 at

91

. On the daycare’s request, District Judge Dib Waldrip granted an ex parte

Temporary Restraining Order, e ffectively voiding DFPS’s emergency closure order

and allowing the daycare to continue operating. See Order Dated May 4, 2015.

DFPS then mo ved to dissolve the T emporary Restraining Order , which Judge

Waldrip heard and denied. RR Vol 1 at 165. Having completed its investigation and

having clarifi ed with Judge Waldrip that his restraining order was not intended to

1 Volume 1 is a court reporter’s record of the hearing on DFPS’s Motion to Dissolve TRO on May 11, 2015. All evidence from this hearing was subsequently admitted into evidence at the hearing on the Temporary Injunction ( RR Vol 2 at 31) (May 15, 2015)

.

2 The Reporter’s Index to Exhibits erroneously reflects that this videotape was sealed by the trial court. However, the videotape was admitted into evidence without any conditions imposed by2 

### prevent DFPS from taking fur ther action concerning the daycare’s license

, DFPS

made its determination and revoked the daycare’s license. Judge Waldrip

subsequently granted a second ex parte Temporary Restraining Order allowing the

daycare to continue operating

. See Order Dated May 13, 2015

. This second ex parte

TRO was entered even after counsel for DFPS had made a live appearance in court

arguing the motion to dissolve. RR Vol. 2 at 5. Ultimately, a fter a nother hearing,

Judge Waldrip granted the daycare’s request for a temporary injunction , allowing the

daycare t o continue operat ing

– under specific conditions

-- while it challenges,

through the administrative process, the revocation of its license

. DFPS is presently

arguing to this Court that Judge Waldrip abused his discretion in granting the

daycare’s request for a t emporary i njunction.

II. Request for Oral Argument

.
Appellant believes oral argument will aid the Court in its decision.

III. Jurisdictional Statement

Under the authority of Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 51.014(a)(4)

(West 2014 )

, this Court has jurisdiction to consider this interlocutory appeal from

the District Court’s granting of a Temporary Injunction.

IV. Standard of Review

.
In an interlocutory appeal from a temporary inju nction, appellate review is

strictly limited to evaluating whether there has been an abuse of discretion

.

th e trial court.3 

### Butnaru v. Ford Motor Co ., 84 S.W.3d 198, 204 (Tex. 2002) (emphasis added). A trial

court’s action is not an abuse of discretion if the court exercises its discretion within

the correct legal parameters

. Landon v. Jean

-Paul Budinger, Inc. , 724 S.W.2d 931,

935

- 36 (Tex. App.

– Austin 1987, no writ)

. Thus, if the trial judge exerc ises a power

of choice given him by law, and does so in a way that is lawful in every respect, he

has commits no legal error. Id. Conversely, if the trial judge exercises a power of

choice clearly not given to him by law, he has committed legal error and abused his

discretion. Id.

Here, the trial judge failed to make the single determination specifically

authorized by section 42.072(e) of the Human Resources Code. That section allows

a daycare to seek injunctive relief to allow continued operation duri ng the pendency

of an appeal of a license revocation if the daycare can show that there is no risk of

harm to the health or safety of children . Tex. Hum. Res. Code § 42.072(e) (West

2013 )

. Specifically, the trial court may grant injunctive relief “only if the court finds

that the child

- care operation does not pose a health or safety risk to children.” Id.

Th us th e trial court committed legal erro r by venturing far beyond the legal

parameters or authority granted to a district court by the Legislature in section

42.072(e). The trial court’s Temporary Injunction attempts to cure the existence of

a health or safety risk to children, by appointing a person to oversee the daycare.

This is reversible error for two reasons: (1) the trial court’s attempted “fix” for the

health or safety risk to children itself acknowledges the existence of a health or4 

### safety risk; and (2) the Legislature did not grant th e trial court the power to attempt

to cure the health or safety risk to children; rather, the Legislature simply directed

the trial court to determine whether there is a risk or not. If there is a risk , then the

granting of a temporary inj u nction is error

. The Legislature clearly did not give the

trial court the power to find the existence of a risk to the health or safety of children

and, despite the risk, substitute its judgment for that of DFPS and grant a temporary

injunction allowing the daycare to c ontinue operating. This is where the trial court

abused his discretion.

V. ISSUE PRESENTED

Does a trial court abuse its discretion by g ranting a Temporary Injunction,

under the statutory authority of Texas Human Reso urces Code § 42.072(e)

(potentially allowing a child

- care operation to continue operating during its

administrative appeal of the revocation of its license )

, when the trial court finds a

risk to the health or safety of children

, then attempts to mitigate t he risk by

imbedding conditions in the Temporary Injunction ? Yes.

VI. Statement of Facts and Argument

.
Because this appeal is limited to a single issue involving a legal error, DFPS

presents a very brief sum mary of the facts to put the case in context for the Court

, as the “facts” are not required for the Court to determine this appeal

.
In December 2014, an employee of the daycare injured a small child in care

by lifting him off the ground and throwing him down on a thin mat. See RR Def.5 

### Ex.1 ( Video ) . In the process, the child’s body struck a vertical surface before he

struck the ground. Id. The abuse bloodied his face and shirt , bringing attention to

the event. Id.
, RR Vol. 2 at 28

. The daycare attemp ted to mislead the boy’s father,

telling him that his son tripped and fell. RR Vol. 2 at 26

- 34. The father

subsequently reported the incident to the New Braunfels’ Police Department

. RR

Vol. 2 at 124 . A lso, a report was made by the daycare to DFPS, con cerning this

single incident which DFPS was subsequently told by the daycare resulted in the

termination of the employee. RR Vol. 2 at 36

. At the direct urging of the local

police, the daycare was instructed to review the recorded video from that employe e’s

“classroom” to see if there was evidence of additional prior abuse. RR Vol. 2 at 124,

132

. The daycare’s video system taped over itself every two weeks, so evidence

reflecting the activities of the employee in this classroom was available for the pr ior

two

- week period

. RR Vol. 2 at 125

. As it turns out, the employee had been

repeatedly abusing the young children in her care, in the same manner. See RR Def.

Ex. 1 (Video)

. DFPS first became aware of the two weeks of abuse to children,

amounting to 15

- 17 reportable events of abuse, when the Comal County District

Attorney brought the existence of the tape and the abuse to DPFS’s attention in

February , 2015. RR Vol. 2 at 126

. And, DFPS obtained the video evidence on

March 17, 2015. RR Vol. 2 at 154. The daycare never reported any of the additional

15

- 17 instances of child abuse to DFPS, as required by law. RR Vol. 2 at 111, 117

.
In April, 2014 , the Comal County grand jury indicted two of the three owners of the6 

### daycare for failure to report child ab use with intent to conceal

. RR Vol. 2 at 91.

When that occurred, DFPS issued an emergency closure order, closing the daycare

for 30 days while DFPS could investigate the concealment allegations

. RR Vol. 2 at

92

- 93, 156 . This order was the subject of the first ex parte TRO issued by Judge

Waldrip. The subject of the second ex parte TRO issued by Judge Waldrip was

D FPS’s revocation of the daycare’s license.

When a daycare’s license is revoked, and DFPS shuts down the facility, the

daycare has a remedy u nder Texas Human Resources Code § 42.072(e), stating in

relevant part:

A person who has been notified by the department that the facility or home may not operate under this section may seek injunctive relief from a district court in Travis County or in the county in which the facility or home is located to allow operation during the pendency of an appeal. The court may grant injunctive relief against the department’s action only if the court finds that the child

- care operation does not pose a health or saf ety risk to children.

Tex. Hum. Res. Code § 42.072(e) (West 2013) (emphasis added).

This statute is the sole legal authority under which the trial court could grant

an injunction in this case. When an applicant for an injunction relies on a statute

tha t defines the requirements for injunctive relief, then the express statutory

language supersedes any common

- law requirements for the issuance of an

injunction. Sonwalkar v. St. Luke’s Sugar Prop. Partnership, L.L.P., 394 S.W.3d 186, 197

(Tex. App.

– Houst on [1 st 

### Dist] 2012, no pet.) ; see also Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code

Ann. § 65.001 (West 2008) (“The principles gove rning courts of equity govern7 

### injunction proceedings if not in conflict with this chapter or other law .”) (emphasis

added). Thus, this Court must solely look at the express language of section

42.072(e) to resolve this case.

Clearly the statute provides that the district court’s role is to determine

whether or not the daycare poses a health or safety risk to children

– that is all. The

Legislature made no provision for a trial court to substitute its judgment for that of

DFPS

, determine that there is ris k to children, attempt to mitigate the risk, and then

grant the injunction against the D epartment.

That is precisely what the trial court did in this case. The Temporary

Injunction sets out certain terms that are directed toward mitigating the health or

safety risk to children, by appointing an independent person to be present at the

daycare ten hours a week to , presumably

, help reduce the risk to the health or safety

of children. The existence of the conditions that the trial court placed on the

daycare demonstrate that

, as a matter of fact and law

, the trial court found a risk to

the health or safety of children at the daycare. This was beyond the power granted

by the Legislature to the district court

. And it was error. The Legislature tasked the

dis trict court with calling balls and strikes, not throwing the pitches . Once the trial

court f ound that there was a risk to the health or safety of the children, he ha d but

one option

– deny the requested injunctive relief.

As DFPS detailed under its discu ssion of the standard of review, it is an abuse

of discretion for a trial court to venture beyond the legal parameters set out by the8 

### Legislature. In this case, the trial courts actions speak far louder than its words.

The trial court denied the existenc e of risk to the health or safety of children, then

he went forward to attempt to mitigate that very risk. On its face, the Temporary

Injunction demonstrates that the trial court believed there was a risk to the health

and safety of children.

VII. Conclusion a nd Prayer

.
The trial court’s order granting an injunction against DFPS is fatally flawed.

The test set out for the trial court by the Legislature was to make a determination of

whether there was a risk to the saf ety or health of children in care. Once the trial

court determined there was such a risk, he did not have the legal authority to

attempt to mitigate the risk yet still grant the injunction. Clearly, based on the trial

court’s actions, it was determined t o allow the daycare to continue to operate

regardless of the risk to children. Only then does the trial court find it necessary to

attempt to mitigate the existing risk. This was beyond the legal authority granted to

the district court by the Legislature . And, it constitutes a relatively rare clear

example of a reversible abuse of discretion.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Texas Department of

Family & Protective Services respectfully prays that this Court reverse the decision

of the trial court and dissolve the Temporary Injunction. The Department further

requests any additional relief, at law or in equity, to which it may be justly entitled.
