IN THE INTEREST OF A.F., a Child From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2010-PA-02741 Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding Opinion by: Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Delivered and Filed: April 18, 2012

AFFIRMED

Appellant M.W. 1 appeals the trial court’s order terminating his parental rights to A.F. M.W.’s court-appointed counsel filed a brief stating that he has conducted a professional evaluation of the record and there are no meritorious issues to appeal. Counsel concludes that the appeal is wholly 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 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 Anders brief to M.W. and advised him of his right to examine the record and to file a pro se brief. Appellant has not filed a pro se brief.

After reviewing the brief and the record, we agree that the appeal is without merit. Therefore, we affirm the trial court’s order and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.

Rebecca Simmons, Justice
