In The

Eleventh Court of Appeals __________ No. 11-24-00175-CR __________ APRIL ANNE WOFFORD, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 104th District Court Taylor County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 24303-B

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, April Anne Wofford, entered an open plea of guilty to possession of methamphetamine in an amount of four grams or more but less than two-hundred grams, a second-degree felony. See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 481.115(d) (West Supp. 2024). The trial court accepted Appellant’s guilty plea and ordered a presentence investigation report to be prepared prior to the sentencing hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, the trial court assessed Appellant’s punishment at imprisonment for fifteen years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and a fine of $5,000.

Appellant’s court-appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw in this court. The motion is supported by a brief in which counsel professionally and conscientiously examines the record and applicable law and concludes that there are no arguable issues to present on appeal. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Counsel has provided Appellant with a copy of the brief, a copy of the motion to withdraw, an explanatory letter, and a copy of the clerk’s record and reporter’s record. Counsel also advised Appellant of her right to review the record and file a response to counsel’s brief, and of her right to file a petition for discretionary review. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68. As such, court-appointed counsel has complied with the requirements of Anders, 386 U.S. 738; 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 pro se 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 without merit.1 Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
