IN THE
                          TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

INA LEE TURNER,
                                                            Appellant
v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                                            Appellee

                          From the 361st District Court
                              Brazos County, Texas
                        Trial Court No. 06-06200-CRF-361

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Ina Lee Turner perfected this appeal from his conviction for felony driving while

intoxicated. He has since died in prison. Turner’s counsel has filed a motion to abate

the appeal supported by a certified copy of Turner’s death certificate. See Freeman v.

State, 11 S.W.3d 240, 240 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000) (per curiam). Turner’s death deprives

this Court of jurisdiction. Id. Accordingly, the motion is granted, and this appeal is

permanently abated. See TEX. R. APP. P. 7.1(a)(2); Freeman, 11 S.W.3d at 240.
