MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an appeal concerning the trial court's termination of Christina L.'s and Matthew L.'s parental rights to their six children, J.L., A.L., J.L., A.L., A.L., and J.L. The court-appointed appellate attorneys for Christina and Matthew have each filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a brief in support of that motion. In their briefs, each appellate attorney avers that, in his professional opinion, the appeal is frivolous. Counsels' briefs and motions meet the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds for relief. 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 parents by their first names only. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 109.002(d) (Vernon 2002).
Christina and Matthew were delivered a copy of counsels' briefs, and both were advised of their right to examine the record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se briefs have been filed. After reviewing the record, we agree that this appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is therefore affirmed. Furthermore, we grant counsels' motions to withdraw.
