Opinion of the Court

*42 CHRISTIAN, Judge.

— This is an appeal from a final judgment upon forfeiture of an appearance bond.

It is the uniform holding of this court that in cases such as this briefs must be filed in the trial court and in this court in compliance with the law and rules governing civil cases, or a waiver of such filing must appear of record. Article 2283, Revised Civil Statutes 1925; Article 856 C. C. P.; Lewis et al. v. State, 7 S. W. (2d) 74; Bratton et al. v. State, 4 S. W. (2d) 562.

The appeal is dismissed.

Dismissed.
