AFFIRMED

           This is an accelerated appeal from an order terminating appellants’ parental rights.

Appellant Mother A.S. and Appellant Father T.A. filed notices of appeal from the trial court’s

order terminating their parental rights. 1 Both Appellant Mother A.S.’s court-appointed appellate

attorney and Appellant Father T.A.’s court-appointed appellate attorney have filed briefs

containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable

grounds to be advanced. Both counsels have concluded that this appeal is frivolous and 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.CSan Antonio 2003, order)

(applying Anders procedure in appeal from order terminating parental rights), disp. on merits, 2003

WL 22080522 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.).

       Appellant Father T.A.’s counsel certified that a copy of appellant’s brief was delivered to

Appellant Father T.A. and that he was advised of his right to examine the record and to file a pro

se brief. Appellant Father T.A. did not file a pro se brief.

       Appellant Mother A.S.’s counsel certified that a copy of appellant’s brief was delivered to

Appellant Mother A.S. and that she was advised of her right to examine the record and to file a

pro se brief. Appellant Mother A.S. did file a pro se brief. After reviewing the record and the briefs,

we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. Therefore, the order of the trial court is

affirmed, and counsels’ motions to withdraw are granted.
