WILLIAM SCOTT, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 217th Judicial District Court
Angelina County, Texas
Trial Court No. CR-27774
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
MEMORANDUM OPINION
William Scott was adjudicated guilty in Angelina County[1] of indecency with a child and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. Scott filed his notice of appeal September 3, 2010.
This Court has now been informed that Scott has died.
The death of an appellant during the pendency of his or her appeal deprives this Court of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 7.1(a)(2); Whitmire v. State, 943 S.W.2d 894 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997); Rheinlander v. State, 918 S.W.2d 527, 528 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
Accordingly, we permanently abate this appeal.
Josh R. Morriss, III
Chief Justice
