Description
Appellants, A A and S A (the parents) appeal from the trial court's judgment terminating their parental rights to their son (the child). The suit was brought by appellee Dallas County Child Welfare Unit of the Texas Department of Human Resources (Child Welfare). Based on the jury's answers to special issues, the trial court entered judgment that: (1) each parent had engaged in conduct, or knowingly placed the child with persons who engaged in conduct, which endangered the physical or emotional well-being of the child, and (2) that termination of parental rights would be in the child's best interest. In six points of error, the parents attack the jury's findings, contending that the evidence is legally and factually insufficient. We overrule the parents' points of error and affirm the judgment of the trial court. The record reflects that the parents are illegal aliens who came to the United States in 1981. The child, the parents' fourth, was born in the United States on February 12, 1982. The father has been employed, from time to time, working as a construction worker and as a dishwasher at a restaurant. The family's economic situation was characterized by several witnesses as low-income. At the time of trial in March 1985, the parents had another child. The parents do not speak English, and they testified at trial through an interpreter.
