Opinion of the Court

EDWARDS, P. J.

Tbe plaintiff in error was convicted in tbe county court of Texas county of selling intoxicating liquor, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and to serve three months in the county jail.

Tbe case was tried in October, 1929, and tbe appeal was lodged in this court in February, 1930. No briefs in support of the appeal have been filed, nor was there any appearance for oral argument at tbe time tbe case was submitted.

Where an appeal from a conviction for a misdemean- or is brought to this court, and no briefs are filed, and no appearance for oral argument made when tbe case is set for submission, this court will examine tbe record for jurisdictional or fundamental errors. If none appear, and tbe evidence reasonably supports the judgment, it will be affirmed.

Tbe case is affirmed.

DAVENPORT and CHAPPELL, JJ., concur.
