      TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN


                                         NO. 03-10-00065-CV



                                    Cecilio Caldera, Jr., Appellant

                                                    v.

                  Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee


  FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY, 340TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
     NO. C-08-0118-CPS-1, HONORABLE JAY K. WEATHERBY, JUDGE PRESIDING



                               MEMORANDUM OPINION


                  Cecilio Caldera, Jr. appeals the district court’s order terminating his parental rights

to his minor child, M.C. Caldera’s court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal

is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no

arguable grounds to be advanced. See Taylor v. Texas Dep’t of Protective & Regulatory Servs.,

160 S.W.3d 641, 646-47 (Tex. App.—Austin 2005, pet. denied) (applying Anders procedure in

appeal from termination of parental rights). Caldera received a copy of counsel’s brief and was

advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief

has been filed.

                  We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous

and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. See
Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Counsel’s motion to withdraw

is granted.

              The order of termination is affirmed.
