Hilbig, Justice Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice Delivered and Filed: October 24, 2012 MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED; AFFIRMED K.W. 2 appeals the trial court s final order terminating the parent-child relationship between her and the children K.W. and K.H. Appellant s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a motion to withdraw and a brief containing a professional evaluation of the record, demonstrating there are no arguable grounds to be advanced, and concluding the appeal is frivolous. The 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, *4 (Tex.

(mem. op.). Counsel states he sent appellant copies of the brief and motion to withdraw and informed her of her right to review the record and file her own brief. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (Tex. App. San Antonio, July 23, 1997, no pet.); In re R.R., 2003 WL 21157944, at *4. Appellant did not file a pro se brief. We have reviewed the record and the attorney s Anders brief, and we agree with counsel that the appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we grant the motion to withdraw and affirm the trial court s order. Steven C. Hilbig, Justice -2-
