MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-06-00851-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF J.A.G., Jr., et al., Minor Children
From the 225th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2004-PA-01949
Honorable Fred Shannon, Judge Presiding

Opinion by: Alma L. L pez, Chief Justice

 

Sitting: Alma L. L pez, Chief Justice

Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Steven C. Hilbig, Justice

 

Delivered and Filed: June 20, 2007

 

AFFIRMED

 

After the trial court terminated his parental rights, Joe Anthony Gonzales, Sr. appealed the trial court's order determining that an appeal of the termination order would be frivolous. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. 263.405(g) (Vernon 2002). Gonzales's court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. Counsel concludes that the appeal is without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). See In re R.R., No. 04-03-00096-CV, 2003 WL 21157944, at * 4 (Tex. App.--San Antonio May 21, 2003, no pet.) (applying Anders procedure in appeal from termination of parental rights).

A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to Gonzales who was advised of his right to examine the record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed. After reviewing the record, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is therefore affirmed, and counsel's motion to withdraw is granted.
