Pippins v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided January 18, 1933 · Lattimore
56 S.W.2d 645; 122 Tex. Crim. 503; 1933 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 36 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Pippins v. State

Opinion of the Court

LATTIMORE, Judge:

Conviction for arson; punishment, two years in the penitentiary.

Neither statement of facts nor bills of exception are to be found in this record. An effort was made to obtain a new trial based on misconduct of the jury, and on the claim that they were permitted to separate during the trial. We note in the order overruling the motion for new trial that it is recited that evidence was heard on the motion, and that the court, after having heard the evidence, overruled the motion. In the absence of any statement of facts, or bill of exception presenting the testimony heard by the court in connection with the motion for new trial, we must give effect to the presumption that the action of the court was supported and sustained by the evidence heard. Moore v. State, 51 S. W. (2d) 584; Aston v. State, 120 Texas Crim. Rep., 534, 48 S. W. (2d) 295.

Finding no error in the record, the judgment will be affirmed.

Affirmed.
