Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided March 8, 1911 · Prendergast

Paris v. State

Opinion of the Court

PRENDERGAST, Judge.

—The appellant was charged by complaint and information with committing an aggravated assault on Lula Paris, he being an adult male, and she a female. The appellant waived a jury and plead guilty. The court assessed a fine of $35 and six months imprisonment in the county jail. In the judgment, properly entered up, the court states that the appellant was on the same day in that court convicted of a misdemeanor and his punishment assessed at a fine of $50 and ordered that the judgment in this case should commence when the former judgment had been fully satisfied.

There is no statement of facts, bills of exception or other complaint by appellant, than a motion for new trial which sets up that the judgment is not supported by the evidence and is contrary to the law. We presume it may have been intended by the appellant to complain of this judgment because of the cumulative penalties. There was no error on this account and there is no error whatever in the record. Code of Criminal Procedure, article 840; Stewart v. State, 37 Texas Crim. Rep., 135; Ex parte Cox, 39 Texas Crim. Rep., 84.

The judgment is afBrmed.

Affirmed.
