The appeals court's ruling was a decisive legal victory for the families of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The court slapped down State District Judge Barbara Walther, a West Texas Republican who ordered the children seized.

Walther had ruled that there was ample evidence, in the guise of the numerous underage pregnant teens in state custody, to suspect that the FLDS promoted underage marriage and sexual abuse. But lawyers representing 38 FLDS mothers argued that Texas had produced no evidence that every one of the seized children was in jeopardy of sexual abuse.

Child welfare officials said they were mystified by the appeals court's ruling, saying that the department had "removed children from the Yearning for Zion Ranch after finding a pervasive pattern of sexual abuse."
