Guardian Law
 
In the Interest of G.L.H., a Child

Mother appeals the orders terminating her parental rights as to three of her children. She
argues the evidence is legally and factually insufficient for the trial court to have found the
termination of her parental rights was in the best interest of the children. We affirm the trial
court’s judgment. Because all issues are settled in law, we issue this memorandum opinion.
