Custody hearings are on hold after today's ruling that Texas had no right to seize children from a polygamist group's ranch. The Third Court of Appeals says the grounds for last month's removal of more than 400 children were ``legally and factually insufficient.'' An attorney representing some of the children says the judge in San Angelo has ten days to vacate her custody order. Texas can appeal. Governor Rick Perry's office says it's an ongoing legal matter, and Texas lawyers will review the appropriate next steps to ensure the safety and welfare of the children. It wasn't immediately clear whether the children now in foster care might soon rejoin their parents. CPS removed the children from the ranch near Eldorado over allegations of abuse, which members deny. Spokesman Rod Parker says the sect members feel validated -- claiming they're being persecuted for their beliefs.
