Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided March 28, 1917 · Davidson
193 S.W. 1066; 81 Tex. Crim. 108; 1917 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 70 (South Western Reporter)

Cogburn v. State

Opinion of the Court

DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.

Appellant was convicted of violating the local option law, and prosecutes an appeal.

After the adjournment of the term of court at-which the conviction occurred appellant entered into an appeal bond to this court instead of a recognizance. The Assistant Attorney General moves to dismiss the appeal because of the want of a recognizance. We are of opinion that this motion should be sustained, as it is not shown by this record that appellant is in jail and has been since the conviction or notice of appeal.

The motion will be sustained and the appeal dismissed.

Dismissed.
