JOHN ROBERT MOORE, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Do not publish. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).
On Appeal from the 212th District Court Galveston County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 18-CR-1549
Panel consists of Justices Goodman, Landau, and Countiss.
ORDER OF PERMANENT ABATEMENT
PER CURIAM.
Appellant's counsel has filed a motion to permanently abate this appeal based on the death of appellant. A copy of appellant's death certificate is attached to the motion. Because appellant's death occurred after he perfected this appeal and before we issued our mandate, the appeal must be permanently abated. See TEX. R. APP. P. 7.1(a)(2) ("If the appellant in a criminal case dies after an appeal is perfected but before the appellate court issues the mandate, the appeal will be permanently abated."). Accordingly, we grant the motion and permanently abate the appeal.
