                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On May 29, 2019, the State filed a motion to abate, in which the State

indicated that the appellant, John Dee Weter Jr., is deceased. Because the death

occurred after Weter perfected the appeal and before we issued our mandate, the

appeal must be permanently abated. See Tex. R. App. P. 7.1(a)(2). Accordingly, we

permanently abate the appeal.

      APPEAL PERMANENTLY ABATED.
