MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED; AFFIRMED

Felicia T. appeals the trial court's order terminating her parent-child relationship with A.J.P. 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. 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.) (mem. op.). Counsel sent Felicia T. copies of the brief and the motion to withdraw, informed Felicia T. of her rights to review the appellate record and to file her own brief, and provided her the address and telephone number of this court, with instructions to contact this court if she wished to file any motions or a brief. See In re R.R., 2003 WL 21157944, at *4. Appellant did not file a pro se brief.

To protect the identity of the minor child, we refer to the mother and child by their initials. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 109.002(d) (West 2011); TEX. R. APP. P. 9.8.

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.
