in the Interest of E.M.S. and M.N.R., Children

Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-12-00464-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF E.M.S. and M.N.R., Children

From the 57th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2011-PA-02147 Honorable Brenda Chapman, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Delivered and Filed: November 28, 2012

AFFIRMED

Appellant Mother A.S. and Appellant Father G.R. appeal the trial court’s order

terminating their parental rights to E.M.S. and M.N.R. Both of appellants’ court-appointed

attorneys have filed briefs containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating

that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. Both of appellants’ court-appointed attorneys

have, respectively, concluded that this appeal is without merit. Both 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 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.). Further, Appellant Mother A.S.’s counsel states that he provided

Appellant Mother A.S. with a copy of the brief and informed her of her right to review the record 04-12-00464-CV

and file a pro se brief. Similarly, Appellant Father G.R.’s counsel states that he provided

Appellant Father G.R. with a copy of the brief and informed him of his right to review the record

and file a pro se brief. Neither Appellant Mother A.S. nor Appellant Father G.R. has filed a pro

se brief.

After reviewing the record and counsels’ briefs, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and

without merit. Therefore, the Order of Termination signed by 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.).
