Chapa, Justice Delivered and Filed: April 17, 2013 AFFIRMED This is an appeal from the trial court’s order terminating Appellant’s parental rights to her child.

, 775 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2003, no pet.) (same). Appellant’s attorney certified that a copy of his brief was delivered to his client who was advised of her right to examine the record and to file a pro se brief.
