AFFIRMED
This is an appeal from the trial court’s termination of appellant Maria Martinez’s parental
rights. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 161.001(1)(D), (E), (N), (O), (2) (West 2008). Appellant’s
court-appointed 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 without merit. 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, no pet.) (applying Anders procedure in appeal from termination of
parental rights), disp. on merits, 2003 WL 22080522 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Sept. 10, 2003,
no pet.) (mem. op.). Counsel provided appellant with a copy of the brief. Appellant was
04-11-00684-CV
informed of her right to review the record and advised of her right to file a pro se brief.
Appellant has not filed a brief.
After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and
without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. We GRANT counsel’s motion 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.).
