MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-08-00727-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF F.R., JR., et al., Children
From the 407th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2007-PA-01990
Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 8, 2009
AFFIRMED
After the trial court terminated her parental rights, Judy Ann A. appealed the trial court’s
order determining that an appeal of the termination order would be frivolous. See TEX. FAM.
CODE ANN. § 263.405(g) (Vernon 2008). Judy Ann’s 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. Counsel concludes that the appeal is frivolous and without
merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). See also
In re R.R., No. 04-03-00096-CV, 2003 WL 21157944, at * 4 (Tex. App.—San Antonio May 21,
04-08-00727-CV
2003, no pet.) (mem. op.) (applying Anders procedure in appeal from termination of parental
rights); In re K.M., 98 S.W.3d 774, 775 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2003, order) (same).
Counsel certified that a copy of his brief was delivered to Judy Ann who was advised of
her right to examine the record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed. After
reviewing the record, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of
the trial court is, therefore, affirmed and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
