FROM THE 64th DISTRICT COURT OF HALE COUNTY;

NO. A35860-0801-A; HON. ED SELF, PRESIDING

Memorandum Opinion
_______________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
          Ignacio Navarro appeals from a final judgment terminating his parental rights to his
daughter and claims the evidence is legally insufficient to support the decision.  We affirm
the order.
          The State argues that we should not review appellant’s issues because he failed to
file a statement of the points he intended to raise on appeal as required by §263.405 of the
Family Code.  According to subsection (i) of that section, an appellate court may not
consider any issue that was not specifically presented to the trial court in a timely filed
statement of points on which the party intends to appeal or in a statement combined with
a motion for new trial.  Tex. Fam. Code Ann. §263.405(i) (Vernon 2008).  The record
contains no statement of points either in its own document or one combined in a motion
for new trial.  Neither has appellant presented a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel
or raised any constitutional issues regarding the application of §263.405(i).  Thus, neither
of those matters are before us despite the absence of a statement of points.  See In the
Interest of J.O.A., 283 S.W.3d 336, 339 (Tex. 2009); In the Interest of Z.J.C., No. 10-09-0026-CV, 2009 Tex. App. Lexis 5628 at *2 (Tex. App.–Waco July 22, 2009, no pet.). 
Therefore, appellant has presented nothing for our review. 
          Accordingly, the order of termination is affirmed.
