Delivered and Filed: January 16, 2019

AFFIRMED

           This is an appeal from the trial court’s Order of Termination in which the trial court

terminated Appellant’s parental rights. Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed a brief and

motion to withdraw, concluding the appeal is 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.) (mem. op.) (applying Anders

procedure in appeal from termination of parental rights). Counsel provided Appellant with a copy

of the brief. Appellant was informed of his right to review the record and advised of his right to

file a pro se brief. The State waived its right to file an appellee’s brief unless Appellant filed a pro

se brief. Appellant has not requested the record or filed a brief.
                                                                                    04-18-00507-CV


       After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without

merit. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85–86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no writ). The

judgment of the trial court is affirmed. We deny counsel’s motion to withdraw because counsel

does not assert any ground for withdrawal other than his conclusion that the appeal is frivolous.

See In re P.M., 520 S.W.3d 24, 27 (Tex. 2016).
