Brown v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Brown v. State, 273 S.W. 862 (Tex. Crim. App. 1925)

Brown v. State

Opinion of the Court

LATTIMORE, Judge.

Conviction in district court of Bowie County of transporting intoxicating liquor; punishment, one year in the penitentiary.

The recognizance in this case is defective. It merely states that the defendant stands charged with the offense of a felony and who has been convicted in “This court of--a felony.” This is not sufficient. Art. 903, Vernon’s C. C. P. provides the form for recognizance on appeal in felony cases ard requires that a recognizance shall state the offense for which conviction was had. Simply to describe it as a felony is bad.

The appeal will be dismissed.

Dismissed.
