Description
Under the Uniform Parentage Act, a man seeking to establish his paternity of a child by supplanting an acknowledged or adjudicated father must commence a proceeding within four years of the "effective date of the [prior] acknowledgment or adjudication." TEX. FAM. CODE § 160.609(b). The present proceeding was filed more than four years after the prior paternity hearing was held, but less than four years after the trial judge signed the order of adjudication. Because the record does not show any rendition of paternity at the earlier hearing, we conclude this proceeding was timely filed. Because the court of appeals held otherwise, 117 S.W.3d 60, 63, we reverse the court of appeals judgment and remand this case to the trial court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
