On Appeal from the

Harris County,

Trial Court Cause No.

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N
Appellant Michelle Robertson challenges the trial court=s order terminating her parental
rights to her minor child, D.C. 
Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the
appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. 
This Court has concluded that the briefing requirements of Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967) are appropriate and
applicable in an appeal from an order terminating parental rights.  In re D.E.S., 135 S.W.3d 326, 330
(Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 2004, no
pet.).  Counsel=s brief meets the requirements of
Anders by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating
why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807

(Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

A copy of counsel=s brief was delivered to
appellant.  Appellant was advised of the
right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response.  See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503,
510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  As of this
date, more than forty-five days have elapsed and no pro se response has been
filed.
We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel=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.
Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
