Montemayor, Judge Presiding Opinion by: Rebecca Simmons, Justice Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Rebecca Simmons, Justice Delivered and Filed: October 15, 2008 AFFIRMED This is an appeal concerning the trial court s termination of Appellant Barbara s parental rights to her child, E.V.M. 1 Barbara 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. 04-03-00096CV, 2003 WL 21157944, at *4 (Tex. App. San Antonio May 21, 2003, no pet.) (applying Anders procedure in appeal from termination of parental rights). 1 To protect the privacy of the parties in this case, we identify the child by her initials and the child s mother by her first name only. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 109.002(d) (Vernon 2002). 04-08-00135-CV A copy of counsel s brief was delivered to Barbara, who was advised of her 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. Furthermore, we grant counsel s motion to withdraw. Rebecca Simmons, Justice -2-
