Publisher Description
This is a case in which appellant, a mother, signed an irrevocable affidavit of Relinquishment of Parental Rights and later changed her mind. Appellant in this case gave birth to C.T., the subject of this suit, on January 25, 1987. Four days after giving birth, appellant executed a Mothers Affidavit of Relinquishment of Parental Rights. This was an irrevocable affidavit containing language waiving appellants right to notice of the hearing. Appellant then attempted to have her child returned to her the day after signing the irrevocable affidavit. When that proved unsuccessful, she sent appellees attorneys a demand for notification of the court hearing date. It is undisputed that appellees attorney in San Antonio received appellants demand for notice of hearing but obtained the decree terminating appellants parental rights without giving appellant notice of the hearing. Appellants motion for a new trial was denied. She is now before this court requesting that we set aside the Decree of Termination and grant her a new trial. We affirm the trial courts judgment.
