In the Interest of D.N. and S.H., Children--Appeal from 288th Judicial District Court of Bexar County

MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-06-00898-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF D.N. and S.H.
From the 288th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2006-PA-00138
Honorable Joe Frazier Brown, Jr., Judge Presiding (1)

AFFIRMED

After the trial court terminated their parental rights, Alula Fantaye Hagos and Brandon D. Hunt 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 2007). Their court-appointed appellate attorney has filed two briefs: one on behalf of Hagos and one on behalf of Hunt. Both briefs contain a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrate that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. As such, counsel concludes that this appeal is without merit. Both briefs meet 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 both Hunt and Hagos, and both were advised of their 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 motions to withdraw as attorney for Hunt and Hagos are granted.
