MEMORANDUM OPINION
IN THE INTEREST OF B.J.B., et al.
Opinion by: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Rebecca Simmons, Justice
Delivered and Filed: November 19, 2008
AFFIRMED
This is an appeal from the trial court's termination of appellants' parental rights. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 161.001 (Vernon Supp. 2008). Appellants' court-appointed attorneys filed briefs containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. Each counsel concluded their client's appeal was 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 appeal from termination of parental rights). Counsel provided appellants with a copy of their brief. Appellants were informed of their right to review the record and advised of their right to file a pro se brief. Neither appellant filed a brief.
After reviewing the record, we agree that the appeals are frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. We GRANT counsels' motions 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.).
