Description: This is an appeal from the trial court’s termination of appellant’s parental rights. Appellant’s court-appointed attorney filed a brief containing a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. Counsel concludes that the appeal is without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). See In re R.R., No. 04-03-00096-CV, 2003 WL 21157944, at * 4 (Tex.

(mem. op.). Counsel provided appellant with a copy of the brief. Appellant was provided with a copy of the record and advised of his right to file a pro se brief. Appellant has not filed a brief.
