MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-15-00179-CV
In the Interest of S.R., A.R., and J.R., Children
From the 288th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2013-PA-02399
Honorable Martha B. Tanner, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Karen Angelini, Justice
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

Delivered and Filed: August 5, 2015
AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED
This is an accelerated appeal from an order terminating appellant’s parental rights to her
three children, S.R., A.R., and J.R. Appellant’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a brief
representing that he has conducted a professional evaluation of the record and determined that
there are no arguable grounds to be advanced on behalf of appellant. Counsel concluded that this
appeal is frivolous and without merit. 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 2003, order) (applying Anders procedure in an appeal from an order
terminating parental rights), disp. on merits, 2003 WL 22080522 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003,
no pet.). Appellant was provided copies of counsel’s brief and motion to withdraw and was
informed of her right to review the record and file her own brief. In addition, counsel advised
04-15-00179-CV
appellant to file a motion in this court if she wished to review the appellate record and enclosed a
form motion for that purpose. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 320 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014);
R.R., 2003 WL 21157944, at *4. Thereafter, this court set deadlines for appellant to file any motion
for the record and any pro se brief. Appellant did not file a motion for the record or a pro se brief.
We have reviewed the record of the trial on the merits and counsel’s Anders brief, and we
agree that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and
affirm the trial court’s order terminating appellant’s parental rights.
Karen Angelini, Justice
