Smith'', 685 S.W.2d 18, [https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=921242224883553191#p20 20] (Tex. 1985) (citations omitted) ("This natural parental right has been characterized as 'essential,' 'a basic civil right of man,' and 'far more precious than property rights.' A termination decree is complete, final, irrevocable and divests for all time that natural right as well as all legal rights, privileges, duties and powers . . . . [T]he evidence in support of termination must be clear and convincing before a court may involuntarily terminate a parent's rights. Consequently, termination proceedings should be strictly scrutinized, and involuntary termination statutes are strictly construed in favor of the parent.") | ||
* ''Byrne v. Love'', 14 Tex. 81, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/014_Tex_81.pdf#page=11 91-92] (1855) ("There is no doubt a guardian, and especially a father acting as guardian by nature, has very ample authority in the control, management, rearing and education of his children; that he may lease their lands until his death or until they arrive at the age of majority; that he may place them for years under the superintendence and control of others, and where such act is not so injurious to the infant as to require the interposition of the Court, it cannot be disputed . . . . All this he may do in perfect consistency with his right of guardianship, and his ultimate liability for the proceeds of the minor's property.") | * ''Byrne v.
