Description
Section 13.44(a)(1) of the Texas Family Code provides that a paternity suit "is barred if final judgment has been rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction . . . adjudicating a named individual to be the biological father of the child . . . ." The issue we address in this case is whether a finding in a divorce decree that the husband and wife are parents of certain children bars a later action by the children to establish that someone else is their biological father. The trial court held that this paternity suit is barred, and the court of appeals affirmed. 809 S.W.2d 262. We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.
