MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-11-00403-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF J.P., a Child
From the 83rd Judicial District Court, Val Verde County, Texas
Trial Court No. 28075
Honorable Bert Richardson, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Karen Angelini, Justice
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice
Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Delivered and Filed: November 14, 2012
AFFIRMED
Appellant Mother M.P. and Appellant Father B.C. appeal the trial court’s order
terminating their parental rights to J.P. Both of Appellants’ court-appointed attorneys have filed
briefs containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no
arguable grounds to be advanced. Both of Appellants’ court-appointed attorneys have,
respectively, concluded that this appeal is without merit. Both briefs meet 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 2003, order) (applying Anders procedure in appeal
from termination of parental rights), disp. on merits, 2003 WL 22080522 (Tex. App.—San
Antonio 2003, no pet.). Further, Appellant Mother M.P.’s counsel states that he provided
04-11-00403-CV
Appellant Mother M.P. with a copy of the brief and informed her of her right to review the
record and file a pro se brief. Similarly, Appellant Father B.C.’s counsel states that he provided
Appellant Father B.C. with a copy of the brief and informed him of his right to review the record
and file a pro se brief. Neither Appellant Mother M.P. nor Appellant Father B.C. has filed a pro
se brief.
After reviewing the record and counsels’ briefs, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and
without merit. Therefore, the Order of Termination signed by the trial court is affirmed. We grant
counsels’ motions to withdraw. Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio
1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n. 1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no
pet.).
Karen Angelini, Justice
