DISMISSED

           The State has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal because the appellant escaped from

custody and has not been recaptured or voluntarily returned to lawful custody with the state. The

motion is supported by an affidavit stating appellant escaped from custody during his trial, was

convicted in abstentia on May 23, 2016, and had not returned to custody as of June 16, 2016. The

motion is granted, and the appeal is dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.4.
