Inman v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided February 22, 1905 · Brooks

Inman v. State

Opinion of the Court

BROOKS, Judge.

Appellant was convicted of gaming, and fined $10. Appellant insists that the evidence is not sufficient to support the information, charging the “unlawful playing of a game with cards” not at a private residence. The only witness introduced on the trial testified, “We all met around and decided to have some fun and rounded up at the schoolhouse, and had a little game of poker.” Poker is defined to be a game with cards—see Webster Dictionary. We think this testimony supports the allegations of the indictment. The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed,.
