Williams v. State

Williams v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided June 19, 1912 · Davidson, Prendergast
148 S.W. 563; 1912 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 721 (South Western Reporter)

Williams v. State

Opinion of the Court

PRENDERGAST, J.

The appellant was convicted of theft of property over the value of $50, and his penalty fixed at two years in the penitentiary.

There is neither a statement of the facts nor bill of exceptions. The only questions attempted to be raised are by the motion *564for new trial. None of them are of such a nature as that we can consider them in the absence of a statement of facts. This court uniformly, under such circumstances, holds that it must presume that the action of the lower court was in every way valid and legal.

The judgment is affirmed.

DAVIDSON, P. J., not sitting.
