MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Matthew Scott Beckett was indicted for possession of cocaine (at least four grams, but less than two hundred grams). A jury convicted Beckett, and the court assessed punishment at six years in prison. Appellant's counsel filed an Anders brief. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). We will affirm. Counsel, in his brief, considers issues in areas relevant to an appeal of a jury trial: (1) indictment; (2) pre-trial motions; (3) voir dire; (4) opening statements and closing arguments; (5) sufficiency of the evidence; (6) objections to evidence and the court's rulings; (7) jury charges; (8) verdicts; (9) juror conduct; (10) sentence and judgment; (11) post-trial motions; and (12) effectiveness of trial counsel. See Sowels v. State, 45 S.W.3d 690, 691 (Tex.App.-Waco 2001, no pet.). Counsel's brief contains references to both the record and applicable statutes, rules, and cases and discusses why counsel concludes that the record does not present any arguable issues. See id. We have conducted an independent review of the record to determine whether there are arguable grounds for appeal. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991). We determine there are none. The indictment invoked the district court's jurisdiction, and punishment was assessed within the range of punishment for the offense. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. Counsel must advise Beckett of our decision and of his right to file a petition for discretionary review. See Sowels, 45 S.W.3d at 694.
