In the Interest of A.R. and D.R.--Appeal from 407th Judicial District Court of Bexar County

MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-07-00058-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF A.R. and D.R.
From the 407th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2006-PA-00484
Honorable Peter Sakai, Judge Presiding (1)

Opinion by: Karen Angelini, Justice

 

Sitting: Alma L. L pez, Chief Justice

Delivered and Filed: August 1, 2007

 

AFFIRMED

After the trial court terminated his parental rights, Albert Rodriguez 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). His court-appointed appellate attorney has filed a brief, containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. As such, counsel concludes that this appeal is without merit. Counsel's 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 Rodriguez, 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 as attorney for Rodriguez is granted.
