On Appeal from the 314th District Court

Harris County, Texas Tria l C ourt Cause No. 2019
- 04552J

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, J. L.P. , appeals a final decree signed April 29, 2021 , terminating her parental rights to the children who are the subject of this suit. Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal. Appellant ’ s ap poi nted counsel filed a brief in which she concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstr ating why there ar e no arguable grounds to be advance d. See High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807, 811

– 13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978) . The Anders procedures are applicable to an appeal from the termination of parental rights when2

— Houston [14th Dist.] 2004, no pet.).
On July 12, 2021 , this court sent appellant a notice informing her of the right to file a pro se response along with a fo r m to request the a ppellate record

– 30. More than sixty days have elapsed , and as of this date, no pro se response has been filed. We have carefully reviewed t he record and cou nsel ’ s brief and agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the record. A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the
state. 1
