Matthew Conard Nelson v. State ( 2015 )


Menu:
  • Motion Denied; Appeal Abated and Memorandum Opinion filed May 14,
    2015.
    In The
    Fourteenth Court of Appeals
    NO. 14-15-00411-CR
    MATTHEW CONARD NELSON, Appellant
    V.
    THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
    On Appeal from the 351st District Court
    Harris County, Texas
    Trial Court Cause No. 1333593
    MEMORANDUM                     OPINION
    On May 6, 2015, this court was formally notified of appellant’s death and
    furnished a copy of appellant’s death certificate. The death of an appellant during
    the pendency of an appeal deprives this court of jurisdiction. See Ryan v. State,
    
    891 S.W.2d 275
    (Tex. Crim. App. 1994). When an appellant dies after an appeal is
    perfected but before this court issues the mandate, the appeal is to be permanently
    abated. See Tex. R. App. P. 7.1(a)(2). Accordingly, we deny the motion to dismiss
    the appeal and order the appeal permanently abated.
    PER CURIAM
    Panel consists of Justices Boyce, McCally and Donovan.
    Do Not Publish B Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
