MEMORANDUM OPINION
After the trial court terminated his parental rights to R.E.N., appellant G.C.N. appealed the trial court's order determining that an appeal of the termination order would be frivolous. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 263.405(g) (Vernon 2008). Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). See In the Interest of 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). Counsel provided appellant with a copy of the brief. Additionally, appellant was informed of his right to review the record and advised of his right to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.
To protect the privacy of the parties in this case, we identify the parent and child by initials only. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 109.002(d) (Vernon 2009).
After reviewing the record, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. We grant counsel's motion to withdraw. Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 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.).
