In re M.A.W.

Texas Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 329b(d) does not expand or restrict the trial court's plenary power vis-a-vis judgments and decrees entered in complete resolution of a proceeding that has already been initiated; there is no conflict between Texas Family Code '54.05(d) and Rule 329b(d).

M.A.W., a juvenile who is referred to as M. herein, appeals from an order modifying his disposition and committing him to the care and custody of the Texas Youth Commission. Through his sole point, he contends that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to so dispose of him. We overrule the point and affirm.

Background

On February 4, 1998, the trial court found that M. engaged in delinquent conduct and placed him on probation for one year. Before that probationary term expired, the State moved to extend the period. The motion was granted and the term was extended until February 4, 2000. Thereafter, the State moved the juvenile court to modify M.’s disposition because he allegedly violated the terms of his probation.
