MEMORANDUM OPINION
Rickie Wayne Selby appealed his conviction for aggravated sexual assault of
a child, which was adjudicated after revocation of his deferred adjudication
community supervision. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.021(a)(2)(B). Before we
issued an opinion, the State filed a notice of Selby’s death. The notice received from
the Liberty County District Attorney indicates that Selby’s appellate counsel has
been informed of Selby’s death. Because Selby’s death occurred after he perfected
1
the appeal and before we issued an opinion or mandate, we must permanently abate
this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 7.1(a)(2). Accordingly, we permanently abate the
appeal.
APPEAL PERMANENTLY ABATED.
