Affirmed and Opinion Filed March 27, 2015

                                            In The
                                Court of Appeals
                         Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                    No. 05-13-01424-CR

                            SAWEAT JINTANONT, Appellant

                                              V.

                             THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                     On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2
                                  Dallas County, Texas
                           Trial Court Cause No. F12-45928-I

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                  Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Myers and Brown
                               Opinion by Chief Justice Wright

       Saweat Jintanont appeals his conviction, following the adjudication of his guilt, for

possession of 3,4-methylenedioxy methamphetamine in an amount less than one gram. See TEX.

HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 481.116(a), (b) (West 2010).             The trial court assessed

punishment at six months’ confinement in a state jail facility. On appeal, appellant’s attorney

filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief

meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a

professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to

advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–12 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978).
Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro

se response, but he did not file a pro se response. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–21

(Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in Anders cases).

       We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824,

826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We agree

the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably

support the appeal.

       We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
