In re Y.K., No. 02-25-00069-CV (July 17, 2025) (Walker, J., joined by Birdwell and Bassel, JJ.).

Held: Because the trial court’s termination order describes with specificity the reasonable efforts the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services made to return the child to her parents—including creating a family service plan and making services available—the findings are sufficiently specific and comport with Subsections 161.001(f) and (g) of the Texas Family Code.
