IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-12-00120-CR

ADAM W. RUFFIN, Appellant v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the County Court at Law Coryell County, Texas Trial Court No. 11-61394

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Adam Wade Ruffin perfected this appeal from his conviction for assault family

violence. This Court has not issued an opinion or mandate in the appeal. Ruffin has

since died, and this Court received a copy of Ruffin’s death certificate. Ruffin’s death

during the pendency of his criminal appeal deprives this Court of jurisdiction. Freeman

v. State, 11 S.W.3d 240 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). The proper action is permanent

abatement of the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 7.1(a)(2).

Accordingly, this appeal is permanently abated. AL SCOGGINS Justice

Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Davis, and Justice Scoggins Appeal Permanently Abated Opinion delivered and filed October 11, 2012 Do not publish [CR25]
