                                           §   Trial Court No. 231-737023-23

                                           §   Memorandum Opinion by Justice Womack

                                    JUDGMENT

      This court has considered relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and all

responsive filings and holds that the petition should be conditionally granted in part.

Accordingly, we conditionally grant the writ of mandamus in part and direct the trial

court to immediately––before the already scheduled October 9, 2023 continued

hearing––hold a full adversary hearing on the Emergency Protection Order and, after

affording relator (Mother) the opportunity to present evidence and challenge the

Department of Family and Protective Service’s evidence and right to retain the child,

issue additional temporary orders, as appropriate.
