Since the Fifth Court of Appeals denied the Pardo family's request to have their four-year-old returned home, they now turn to the Texas Supreme Court.
Documents show that three people have applied for the DFPS position: one judge, Sandee Bryan Marion, and two current employees of the department, John Lee and Jim Sylvester.
The complicated case is scheduled for another hearing at 9:00 AM on Friday, August 9. Here is what we know about the claims of medical child abuse and CPS illegally removing the child.
A month after CPS removed their four-year-old son from his home and a judge ruled against them, the Pardos are preparing to challenge the court’s decision.
State Senator Bob Hall said the ruling was “the most egregious display of injustice” that he has seen. Hall said CPS had “zero evidence” in their case against the family.
The Pardo family awaits a decision on whether or not their son Drake will be returned to them as the presiding judge imposes a gag order during the hearing.
