IN THE INTEREST OF Z.A.A.-S-T. AKA Z.T., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 315th District Court

Trial Court Cause No. 2017-04990J
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant S.C. appeals the final orders terminating the parent-child
relationship between her and her sons, Z.Z.A-S. and Z.A.A.-S.T. aka Z.T,
respectively. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 109.002(a-1). Appellant’s appointed
counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeals are frivolous and without
merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why
there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807,
811–13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). The Anders procedures apply to an appeal from the
termination of parental rights when an appointed attorney concludes there are no
non-frivolous issues to assert on appeal. In re D.E.S., 135 S.W.3d 326, 329 (Tex.
App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2004, no pet.).
A copy of counsel’s brief was delivered to appellant. Appellant was advised
of her right to inspect the appellate records and file a pro se response to the brief.
See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). As of this date,
more than 60 days have passed and no pro se response has been filed.
We have carefully reviewed the records and counsel’s brief and agree the
appeals are frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the
records. A discussion of the appellate brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence
of the state. D.E.S., 135 S.W.3d at 330.
Accordingly, the trial court’s final orders terminating the parent-child
relationship are affirmed.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Wise, Zimmerer, and Spain.
