THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 35th District Court Brown County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CR24366 MEMORANDUM OPINION Based upon an open plea of guilty, the trial court convicted Appellant, Tisha Gay Pruett, of the third-degree felony offense of theft. The trial court assessed Appellant’s punishment at confinement for eight years and ordered that restitution in the amount of $23,455.24 be paid to Greenleaf Cemetery. We affirm. Appellant’s court-appointed counsel has filed 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 this appeal is frivolous and without merit. Counsel has provided Appellant with a copy of the brief, a copy of the motion to withdraw, and a copy of the reporter’s record. Counsel advised Appellant of her right to review the record and file a response to counsel’s brief.

Following the procedures outlined in Anders and Schulman, we have independently reviewed the record, and we agree with counsel that the appeal is frivolous and without merit.1 We grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
