BILLY R. BELGARD, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 188th Judicial District Court
Gregg County, Texas
Trial Court No. 37,584-A
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
MEMORANDUM OPINION
A jury convicted Billy R. Belgard of two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and assessed his punishment at life imprisonment.[1] Belgard filed his notice of appeal August 5, 2009.
This Court has now been informed that Belgard has died.
The death of an appellant during the pendency of his or her appeal deprives this Court of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 7.1(a)(2); Whitmire v. State, 943 S.W.2d 894 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997); Rheinlander v. State, 918 S.W.2d 527, 528 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
Accordingly, we permanently abate this appeal.
