Harris v. State

Harris v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided March 13, 1935 · Lattimore, Morrow
81 S.W.2d 1114; 1935 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 796 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Harris v. State

Opinion of the Court

MORROW, Presiding Judge.

Theft of an automobile is the offense; penalty assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for two years.

The indictment, judgment and sentence, and the charge of the court all appear regular. The facts heard in the trial court are not brought forward for review. Nothing is perceived from our examination of the record which would warrant a reversal or require discussion.

The judgment is affirmed.

On Motion for Rehearing.

LATTIMORE, Judge.

We think the complaint of the judgment of the court herein, because it referred to the offense as “felony theft,” is hypercritical. Other complaints of the transposition of terms and expressions in the record from the exact relationship in which said terms appear in the statute also appear to us to be without any substantial merit.

The motion for rehearing will be overruled.
