Publisher Description
D.M. set fire to a couch, which caused extensive damage to his school. The trial court ordered D.M.s parents ("appellants") to pay $25,000 in restitution as part of its order of probation. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 54.041(b) (West Supp. 2005). Appellants appeal the order, arguing that there was insufficient evidence to support the amount of restitution ordered and that the statutes governing restitution are unconstitutional because they violate the "open courts" provision of the Texas Constitution and violate due process. See Tex. Const. art. I, § 13. We will affirm the order of the trial court.
