AFFIRMED
This is an appeal from the trial court’s termination of appellant’s parental rights. Counsel
for appellant has filed a brief representing that he has conducted a professional evaluation of the
record and determined that there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. Counsel concludes
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, at *4 (Tex. App.—San
Antonio May 21, 2003, order) (applying Anders procedure to appeals from orders terminating
parental rights), disp. on merits, 2003 WL 22080522 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Sept. 10, 2003,
no pet.). In compliance with the procedure in Anders, counsel sent a copy of counsel’s brief to

The child’s initials were corrected to “C.R.C.” in an amended petition filed by the Department of Family and
Protective Services, and the child is referred to as “C.R.C.” in the judgment, but the style of the case remained “In
the Interest of C.B.C.”

appellant, and informed appellant of her right to file her own brief. See Nichols v. State, 954
S.W.2d 83, 85–86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.). Appellant has not filed a pro se
brief.
After reviewing the record from the trial on the merits and counsel’s brief, we agree that
the appeal is frivolous and without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s judgment, and
grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. Id.
