Cassens v. State

Opinion of the Court

*19 DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.

This case was tried originally in the Justice Court, from a conviction in which an appeal was taken to the County Court, The trial in the latter court resulted in a conviction with a fine of $25, the charge being the sale of intoxicants to a minor.

Motion is made to dismiss the appeal because of the fact that the-fine was under one hundred dollars. This being true, the case was a finality in the County Court. Under the law this motion is well taken. See Nelson v. State, 33 Texas Crim. Rep., 379; Tison v. State, 35 Texas Crim. Rep., 360; Mahanay v. State, 60 S. W. Rep., 756.

The motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is dismissed.

Dismissed.
