At a review hearing the Presiding Judge of the High Plains Child Protection Court continued the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services as the permanent managing conservator for a child identified in court as Wren, who goes by Eve, and set a follow-up review for Nov. 12, 2025 at 9 a.m.
Pamela Ferguson, regional attorney for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, told the court that the adoptive family and agency were completing the subsidy packet and that the adoption process was advancing. “They are currently working on the subsidy packet. They will be receiving the redacted file this week by the end of the week. They returned the HESIG to me, signed, initialed, and I will be submitting the subsidy packet, hopefully next week,” Ferguson said.
Court-appointed advocates and the permanency specialist reported no concerns and said the child is doing well. CASA said it had no concerns and the permanency specialist said the family was preparing for the adoption process.
The court formally continued the Department as permanent managing conservator and maintained the child’s current placement. The next review hearing was scheduled for Nov. 12, 2025 at 9 a.m. to confirm final steps or address any issues that arise before that date.
Court staff asked counsel to confirm by notice when the adoption actually occurs and the county where the adoption will be finalized; Ferguson indicated the family expected to proceed in Wise County or a county chosen by the adoptive parents.
