MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-18-00897-CV

From the 407th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
Delivered and Filed: May 8, 2019
AFFIRMED
In this appeal, appellant challenges the trial court’s judgment terminating his parental rights
to his child, D.E.P. Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed a brief in which he discusses the
applicable law and evaluates the record in this case. In counsel’s professional opinion, this appeal
is frivolous and without merit. Counsel’s brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967). See In re P.M., 520 S.W.3d 24, 27 (Tex. 2016) (noting Anders procedures apply
in parental termination cases). Additionally, counsel certified that he provided appellant a copy of
the brief and informed appellant of his right to review the record and file a pro se brief. Appellant
did not file a pro se brief.
We have conducted an independent review of the record and agree this appeal is frivolous
and without merit. Accordingly, the trial court’s judgment is affirmed.
Irene Rios, Justice
