DARRELL JEROME DUROUSSEAU, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
________________________________________________________________________
On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 18-29154
________________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Darrell Jerome Durousseau appealed his conviction for engaging in organized
criminal activity. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 71.02 (West Supp. 2018). Before we
issued an opinion, Durousseau’s counsel filed a motion to permanently abate the
appeal. The motion is supported by an e-mail from the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice confirming that Durousseau died on January 2, 2019, while in its
1
custody. No opinion or mandate has been issued in the appeal. We therefore
permanently abate this appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 7.1(a)(2).
APPEAL PERMANENTLY ABATED.
