THE STATE OF TEXAS                                                                 STATE

                                                  ------------

               FROM THE 355TH DISTRICT COURT OF HOOD COUNTY

                                                  ------------

                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION^[1]

                                                  ------------

A jury convicted Appellant Twyna Lynn Shields of possession of more than one but less than four grams of methamphetamine, found true to two habitual-offender counts, and assessed punishment at ninety-nine years in prison.  The trial court sentenced her accordingly.

Appellant=s court-appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a brief in support of that motion.  Counsel=s brief and motion meet the requirements of Anders v. California^[2] by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no reversible grounds on appeal and referencing any grounds that might arguably support the appeal.^[3]  We afforded Appellant an opportunity to file a brief on her own behalf; she did not do so.

In our duties as a reviewing court, we must conduct an independent evaluation of the record to determine whether counsel is correct in determining that the appeal is frivolous.^[4]  Only then may we grant counsel=s motion to withdraw.^[5]

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel=s brief.  We agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.^[6]  We therefore grant the motion to withdraw filed by Appellant=s counsel and affirm the trial court=s judgment.
