ZACIMBRICC DIZHAY WHITE, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 358th District Court
Ector County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. D-23-1665-CR

MEMORANDUM OPINION
A jury convicted Appellant, Zacimbricc Dizhay White, of the first-degree
felony offense of possession with intent to deliver cocaine in an amount of four
grams or more but less than 200 grams. See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN.
§ 481.112(d) (West Supp. 2025). The jury assessed Appellant’s punishment at
imprisonment for thirty years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department
of Criminal Justice.
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, 744
(1967); In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 406–09 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008). 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 his right to object to counsel’s motion to withdraw, to
review the record and file a pro se response to counsel’s Anders brief, and to file a
petition for discretionary review. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5, 68. As such, court-
appointed counsel has complied with the requirements of Anders, 386 U.S. at 742–
44, Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014), Schulman, 252 S.W.3d
at 409–12, 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 likewise conclude that the appeal is without merit. 1 See Anders, 386
U.S. at 744; Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 & n.6 (Tex. Crim. App.
2005). The evidence presented during the guilt/innocence phase of trial established
that Appellant was a drug dealer who was involved in a shooting. While Appellant
was being treated for a gunshot wound by hospital personnel, a bag containing a
white substance fell out of his pocket. Lab testing confirmed that the white substance
was cocaine. Appellant testified that he intentionally or knowingly possessed forty-
one grams of cocaine with the intent to distribute it. On this record, we agree with
counsel that there are no arguable issues to present on appeal.

We note that Appellant has the right to file a petition for discretionary review in the Texas Court of
1

Criminal Appeals pursuant to Rule 68 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.
2
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm the
judgment of the trial court.
