                                   ___________

                          ADAM GARCIA, Appellant
                                        V.
                      THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                      On Appeal from the 161st District Court
                               Ector County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. B-19-0192-CR

                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
       The jury convicted Appellant, Adam Garcia, of the third-degree felony
offense of possession of a prohibited substance in a correctional facility. See TEX.
PENAL CODE ANN. § 38.11(d)(1), (g) (West Supp. 2022).           The jury assessed
Appellant’s punishment at imprisonment for two years in the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice, and the trial court sentenced him accordingly. We affirm.
       Appellant’s court-appointed counsel has filed in this court a motion to
withdraw. The motion is supported by a brief in which counsel professionally and
conscientiously examines the record and applicable law and concludes that the
appeal is frivolous and without merit. Counsel provided Appellant with a copy of
the brief, a copy of the motion to withdraw, and a copy of both the clerk’s record
and the reporter’s record. Counsel advised Appellant of his right to review the record
and file a response to counsel’s brief and of his right to file a petition for
discretionary review with the clerk of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals seeking
review by that court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68. Court-appointed counsel has complied
with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); Kelly v. State,
436 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403 (Tex.
Crim. App. 2008); and Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).
        Appellant has not filed a response to counsel’s Anders brief. Following the
procedures outlined in Anders and Schulman, we have independently reviewed the
record, and we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit.1
        Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm the
judgment of the trial court.

                                                         W. STACY TROTTER
