Burton v. State

Opinion of the Court

PRENDERGAST, Judge.

The appellant was indicted and convicted of burglary.

Since the appeal in this case, it has been clearly shown to us that pending the appeal, the appellant made his escape from the custody of the sheriff of Bexar County and that he did not voluntarily return within ten days. Therefore, upon the motion of the assistant attorney-general, this cause is dismissed.

Dismissed.

Davidson, Presiding Judge, absent.
