Trial Court No. 11-361-A
The Honorable Cathy O. Morris, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Sitting: Marialyn Barnard, Justice

AFFIRMED
This is an appeal from the trial court's order terminating Appellant's parental rights to her child. The 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, no pet.) (mem. op.) (applying Anders procedure in an appeal from a termination of parental rights); 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. Appellant did not file a pro se brief. After reviewing the record, we agree that Appellant's appeal is frivolous and without merit. We affirm the trial court's order and grant Appellant's attorney's motion to withdraw.
