MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-10-00671-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF L.M., a Child
From the 218th Judicial District Court, Wilson County, Texas
Trial Court No. 09-07-0372-CVW
The Honorable Cathy O. Morris, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Delivered and Filed: April 6, 2011
AFFIRMED
After the trial court terminated his parental rights, Myron M. appealed the trial court’s
order finding that an appeal of the termination order would be frivolous. See TEX. FAM. CODE
ANN. § 263.405(g) (West 2008). Myron’s court-appointed appellate 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 frivolous and 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) (mem. op.); see also In
re K.M., 98 S.W.3d 774, 775 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2003, order) (same).

Counsel certified that a copy of his brief was delivered to Myron who was advised of his
right to examine the record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed. After
reviewing the record, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The order of the
trial court is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
