Lewis v. McDowell
Opinion of the Court
To confer jurisdiction of the appeal upon this court the appeal bond must have been filed within 20 days after the expiration of the term at which the judgment was rendered. Article 2084, Vernon’s Statutes. Said term of the court ended April 13, 1917, and the bond was filed on the 25th day thereafterwards, to wit, on May 8, 1917. As this court, therefore, is without power to hear and determine the appeal, it is dismissed.
