MEMORANDUM OPINION Nos. 04-10-00589-CV & 04-10-00590-CV THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR THE BEST INTEREST AND PROTECTION OF K.K.S., as a Mentally Ill Person From the Probate Court No 1, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 2010MH1581 & 2010MH 1672 Honorable Polly Jackson Spencer, Judge Presiding Opinion by: Rebecca Simmons, Justice Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Rebecca Simmons, Justice Delivered and Filed: December 29, 2010 AFFIRMED These accelerated appeals challenge a trial court s judgment involuntarily committing K.K.S. for mental health services and an order compelling psychoactive medications. Appellant s court-appointed attorney filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). See In re L.E.H., 228 S.W.3d 219, 220 (Tex. App. San Antonio 2007, no pet.) (applying Anders procedure in appeal from court ordered mental health commitment). Counsel concludes the appeals have no merit. Counsel provided K.K.S. with a copy of the brief and informed her of her right to review the record and file her own brief; however, K.K.S. did not file a pro se brief. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (Tex. App. San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App. San Antonio 1996, no pet.). 04-10-00589-CV & 04-10-00590-CV After reviewing the record and counsel s brief, we agree that the appeals are frivolous and without merit. The judgment and order of the trial court are affirmed, and appellate counsel s motion to withdraw is granted. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d at 86; Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1.
