MEMORANDUM OPINION
Edward Prendez ("Prendez") appeals the trial court's order denying his motion for forensic DNA testing under Chapter 64 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Prendez's court-appointed attorney filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he concludes that the appeal has no merit. Counsel provided Prendez with a copy of the brief and informed him of his right to review the record and file his own brief. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n. 1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1996, no pet.). On November 25, 2003, this court ordered our clerk to provide Prendez with a complete copy of the appellate record and extended his time to file his brief. Prendez did not file a pro se brief. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. We agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Appellate counsel's motion to withdraw is granted. Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d at 86; Bruns 924 S.W.2d at 177 n. 1.
