IN THE INTEREST OF M.H. AND Z.H., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 72nd District Court

Trial Court No. 2012-502,824, Honorable Kara L. Darnell, Presiding

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Appellant, A.Y., had her parental rights to M.T.H. and Z.Z.H. terminated and has
appealed from that order. Her appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw,
together with an Anders1 brief wherein she certified that, after diligently searching the
record, she has concluded that the appeal is without merit. Along with her brief,
appellate counsel has attached a copy of a letter sent to A.Y. informing her of her right
to file a response pro se and stating that the record has been provided to A.Y. By letter
dated April 28, 2015, this court also informed A.Y. of her right to tender her own

response and set May 18, 2015, as the deadline to do so. To date, we have not
received a response.
In compliance with the principles enunciated in Anders, appellate counsel
discussed the legal and factual sufficiency of the evidence to support the trial court’s
statutory findings as a basis for termination and the finding that termination is in the best
interests of the children. However, she has also explained why the evidence is
sufficient to support those findings. We also have conducted our own review of the
record to uncover any reversible error and have found none.
Accordingly, the motion to withdraw is granted, and the judgment is affirmed.

Chief Justice
