Chapa, Justice Delivered and Filed: April 17, 2013 AFFIRMED This is an appeal from the trial court s order terminating Appellant s parental rights to her child. The 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. The attorney concludes that his client s appeal is frivolous and without merit. The attorney s brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). See In re R.R., No. 04-03-00096CV, 2003 WL 21157944, at *4 (Tex. App. San Antonio May 21, 2003, no pet.) (mem. op.) (applying Anders procedure in an appeal from a termination of parental rights); see also In re K.M., 98 S.W.3d 774, 775 (Tex. App. Fort Worth 2003, no pet.) (same). Appellant s attorney certified that a copy of his brief was delivered to his client who was advised of her right to examine the record and to file a pro se brief. Appellant did not file a pro 04-12-00835-CV se brief. After reviewing the record, we agree that Appellant s appeal is frivolous and without merit. We affirm the trial court s order and grant Appellant s attorney s motion to withdraw. Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice -2-
