No. 04-12-00384-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF J.M.V., a Child From the 225th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2011-PA-01861

Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding 1 PER CURIAM

Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice

Steven C. Hilbig, Justice

Marialyn Barnard, Justice

Delivered and Filed: October 31, 2012

AFFIRMED

Appellant appeals the trial court’s order terminating his parental rights to J.M.V. Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has 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 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.). Counsel provided appellant with a copy of the brief. Appellant was informed of his right to review the record and advised of his 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 Order of Termination signed by 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.).
