Opinion of the Court

CALHOUN, J.

Appellant was convicted of the theft of property, to wit, an automobile, of more than the value of $50, and his punishment assessed at two years in the penitentiary.

The record fails to show that notice of appeal was given. Without proper notice of appeal, this court is without jurisdiction. Hollifield v. State, 111 Tex. Cr. R. 93, 10 S.W.(2d) 101; Davidson v. State, 104 Tex. Cr. R. 607, 285 S. W. 831.

The appeal is dismissed.
