MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED; AFFIRMED
Felicia T. 1 appeals the trial court’s order terminating her parent-child relationship with
A.J.P. Appellant’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a motion to withdraw and a brief
containing a professional evaluation of the record, demonstrating there are no arguable grounds to
be advanced, and concluding 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, *4

withdraw, informed Felicia T. of her rights to review the appellate record and to file her own brief,
and provided her the address and telephone number of this court, with instructions to contact this
court if she wished to file any motions or a brief. See In re R.R., 2003 WL 21157944, at *4.
Appellant did not file a pro se brief.
We have reviewed the record and the attorney’s Anders brief, and we agree with counsel
that the appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we grant the motion to withdraw and affirm the trial
court’s order.
