V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 253rd District Court Liberty County, Texas Trial Cause No. CR25185 __________________________________________________________________

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.
