Plumley v. State

Plumley v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided June 22, 1938 · Morrow, Christian
120 S.W.2d 267; 135 Tex. Crim. 359; 1938 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 716 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Plumley v. State

Addendum

on appellant’s motion for rehearing.

Christian, Judge.

In his motion for rehearing appellant asserts that due to the negligence of the trial judge he has been deprived of an authenticated statement of facts. The motion fails to set forth any facts showing negligence on the part of the trial judge. It merely states that the unauthenticated statement of facts is in the record “because of the negligence of the county judge failing to sign the statement of facts.” Moreover the motion is not sworn to, nor has appellant appended any affidavits thereto in support of his position that he has been deprived of a statement of facts.

Appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.

The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court.

Opinion of the Court

Morrow, Presiding Judge.

The offense is theft, a misdemeanor; penalty assessed at confinement in the county jail for sixty days.

The statement of facts accompanying the record does not bear the approval of the judge who tried the case; nor does it contain the file mark of the clerk of the trial court. Therefore, the statement of facts can not be considered by this Court.

No complaints of the procedure have been presented by bills of exception.

*360 The judgment is affirmed.
