MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-11-00237-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF K.L., V.L., Jr., M.L., N.L., and V.L., Minor Children
From the 406th Judicial District Court, Webb County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2009-CVJ-001133-D4
Honorable Paul Gallego, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice
Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Delivered and Filed: August 3, 2011
AFFIRMED
This is an appeal from the trial court’s termination of appellant’s parental rights. Counsel
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 appellant, and
04-11-00237-CV
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.
Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
