AFFIRMED
This is an appeal from the trial court's order terminating Appellant's parental rights to her children. Appellant'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. 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. 04-03-00096-CV, 2003 WL 21157944, at *4 (Tex. App.—San Antonio May 21, 2003, order) (applying Anders procedure to appeals from orders terminating parental rights), disp. on merits, 2003 WL 22080522 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Sept. 10, 2003, no pet.); 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. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.). Appellant did not file a pro se brief. After reviewing the record, we agree that Appellant's appeal is frivolous and without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's judgment and grant Appellant's attorney's motion to withdraw. See id.
