TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-19-00130-CR Ricardo Jaminez Sosa, Jr., Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE 26TH DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 15-1924-K26, THE HONORABLE DONNA GAYLE KING, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION Counsel for appellant Ricardo Jaminez Sosa, Jr., has filed a motion to permanently abate this appeal because, she advises us, Sosa has died. Where, as here, an appellant in a criminal case dies after an appeal is perfected but before the appellate court issues the mandate, the court is to permanently abate the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 7.1(a)(2). Accordingly, we grant the motion and permanently abate the appeal. __________________________________________ Gisela D.
