AFFIRMED

Appellants J.C. and L.V. 1 appeal the trial court’s order terminating his parental rights to his children born to M.D. Appellants’ counsel 2 filed separate briefs stating that he has conducted a professional evaluation of the record and there are no meritorious issues to appeal for either appellant. Counsel concludes that the appellate issues are wholly without merit. The briefs meet 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 an appeal from a termination of parental rights); see also In re D.E.S., 135 S.W.3d 326, 329 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2004, no pet.) (same).

Counsel certified that he sent a copy of the respective Anders brief to J.C. and L.V. and advised each of his right to examine the record and to file a pro se brief. Neither appellant has filed a pro se brief.

After reviewing the briefs and the record, we agree that the appellate issues are without merit. Therefore, we affirm the trial court’s order and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
