MEMORANDUM OPINION


This is an appeal concerning the trial court's termination of Appellants Terrick, Lashonda and Alexander's parental rights to children E.D., T.A. and A.W. Terrick, Lashonda and Alexander's court-appointed appellate attorneys each filed a brief containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced regarding their respective clients. Each counsel concluded that the appeal is without merit regarding their client. The briefs meet 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).

To protect the privacy of the parties in this case, we identify the children by their initials and the children's mother, presumed father and alleged father by their first names only. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 109.002(d) (Vernon 2002).

Each appellate counsel provided their respective clients with a copy of their appellate brief, and advised their clients of his or 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 appeals are frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is, therefore, affirmed. Furthermore, we grant counsels' motions to withdraw.
