AFFIRMED
This is an appeal from the trial court's termination of appellant's parental rights. Counsel for appellant has filed a brief representing that he has conducted a professional evaluation of the record and determined that there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. Counsel concludes 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, 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.) (mem. op.). In compliance with the procedure in Anders, counsel sent a copy of counsel's brief to appellant, and informed appellant of his right to file his own brief. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.). Appellant has not filed a pro se brief.
After reviewing the record from the trial on the merits and counsel's brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's judgment, and grant counsel's motion to withdraw. Nichols, 954 S.W.2d at 85-86.
