                 Trial Court No. 12,104, Honorable Dan Mike Bird, Presiding

                                   December 7, 2018

                            PERMANENT ABATEMENT
                   Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.

      Appellant Terrance Wayne Parnell was convicted by jury of the offense of

aggravated robbery1 and sentenced to a term of imprisonment. Appellant perfected an

appeal, but a mandate has not yet been issued by the court.

      The State has filed a document indicating appellant died on February 1, 2018. The

death of the appellant during the pendency of his criminal appeal deprives this court of

jurisdiction. Freeman v. State, 11 S.W.3d 240 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000) (citing Ryan v.

State, 891 S.W.2d 275 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994); TEX. R. APP. P. 7.1(a)(2)). The proper

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

      Accordingly, this appeal is permanently abated.
