AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED

           Tasha F. 2 appeals the trial court’s order terminating her parental rights to C.N.H. See

TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 161.001(1)(D), (2) (West Supp. 2011). Tasha’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 appeal from termination of parental rights), disp. on

merits, 2003 WL 22080522 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Sept. 10, 2003, no pet.) (mem. op.); 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 Tasha and advised her of her

right to examine the record and to file a pro se brief. Tasha 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. Nichols v.

State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d
