MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-10-00248-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF B.M.R., a Child
From the 150th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2008-PA-01762
Honorable Richard Garcia, Judge Presiding
Opinion by: Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Delivered and Filed: November 24, 2010
AFFIRMED
After the trial court terminated his parental rights, Robert R. 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). Robert’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 Robert 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 judgment of
the trial court is therefore affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
