OPINION
JIM SHARP, Justice.
Bias Garza Perez was convicted of possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine 1 and a jury assessed his punishment at fifteen years’ incarceration and a $2,500 fine. Perez contends that the trial court erred by not ordering the disclosure of the true identity and background of a confidential informant in violation of Texas Rule of Evidence 508, and that the State violated Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963) by withholding such information.
We affirm.
