Ina Lee Turner v. State

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-07-00354-CR 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.
