Code 161.211 does not bars a bill of review alleging extrinsic fraud. Tex. Fam. Code 16.051. The statute sets forth an action independent action of an equitable nature under Alexander v. Hagedorn, 226. S.W.2d 996 (Tex. 1950). The Texas Supreme Court described extrinsic fraud or deception, did not know of the suit, or was betrayed by his Attorneys.

70. While on the appeal, the Department has not attempted to defend themselves about the abuse and neglect allegations in their brief filed to the court of appeals, but they have argued after the fact that Tex. Fam. Code Section 120 and 121 applies, after they illegally seized Plaintiffâs children violating her fourteenth amendment due process rights. Their only argument is that Christina Cruise filed an answer to the Court, and she made an appearance but although she was not properly served, she filed an answer to the court, and she made an appearance which would give the Court personal jurisdiction over Christina Cruise. Plaintiff Argued in her brief that an answer was filed to the Court and the department further argues that constitutes an appearance which has the same force and effect as if personally served.

Illegal Forced Adoption of Plaintiffs child authorized and facilitated by the
Department in 2019.
74. The department argued in their Brief to the Court of Appeals that they relied on the Termination of Parental Rights of this Plaintiff to facilitate the adoption of the child in 2019. Plaintiff became aware of the adoption orders in September 2019 when she filed a Motion to reinstate her Parental Rights and the Court appointed an Attorney to investigate to see if plaintiff qualified.
75. Plaintiff never executed an affidavit to relinquish parental rights. The department violated fourteenth amendment (14th) due process and facilitated the adoption and the termination proceedings separately and they failed to join the proceedings as authorized under Section 162.001. The department terminated plaintiffâs parental rights unlawfully failing to prove that Plaintiff, Christina Cruise was in fact unfit. The department used her father and an alleged father of her childrenâs background against her to point their background to the fitness of her parenting. Unconstitutional and violation of Plaintiffâs fourteenth (14th) amendment due process rights.
76. The Department failed to join the termination and the adoption proceedings as authorized by statute 162.001, because they did not want plaintiff to challenge the adoption of her child or make any legal arguments or objections as Plaintiff had a right to object to both the termination of her parental rights and the adoption of her child. The Department and all Attorneys involved failed to join both proceedings and allowed Plaintiff to challenge the Termination of her parental rights.
77. The Department did not have any perspective person to adopt the child and left the child in a foster home from the date of Termination of parental rights June 2017 until September 2019 and deprived plaintiff fourteenth (14th) Amendment due process rights to parent her own child, where she had stable housing, employment, a college student at the Houston Community College studying Video Production and Screenplay Writing with aspirations of working in the TV and Film Industry, which is what plaintiff is doing today professionally, and the children was showered with love, stability where Plaintiff lived in her apartment for 6 years, she provided nurture to her children, sought medical attention for the children when they were sick or ill and kept the children safe as a single young mother. Plaintiff had plans to send her two small children to private Christians schools and to take ballet lessons.
78. Moreover, at trial, Plaintiffâs court appointed lawyers, Bobbie Young never subpoenaed the defendant, Sefra Perkins to court and question her under oath about the false accusations she had alleged to obtain a warrant to seize plaintiffâs children or at any proceeding during the 2 years the case was pending.
79. Because of the defendants actions and violated plaintiffâs fourteenth amendment due process rights to parent her children, Plaintiff was forced to drop out of college, the department did not support her or help her whatsoever, they were simply after her parental rights and to place all of her children with other family members and strangers in a foster home, then facilitated the adoption without the mother present and illegally adopted her daughter over the biological motherâs consent.
80. The department and the Attorney Ad litem, Samantha Y. Davis for the children never notified this Plaintiff of any hearings in the adoption suit pending in Cause No. 2019-49913 concerning the adoption of the child. Both cases were tried separately, thatâs unconstitutional and a fourteenth (14th) amendment violation, and the Court per requested by the department after illegally adopting the child with faulty paperwork for the adoption sealed up the entire case.
81. In opposing the Motions seeking to object to the adoption orders Plaintiff filed a Decree Dismissing the Petition Parent Child Relationship Not Previously Terminated to the District Court on February 12, 2020. Plaintiff was unable to challenge the adoption orders, but she attempted to anyhow because she knew that the Department goal was adoption after the Department illegally stripped her of her parental rights. Ramirez v. TDFPS section 162. 211 (a).
