Arambula v. State

Arambula v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided January 19, 1938 · Graves
112 S.W.2d 738; 133 Tex. Crim. 477; 1938 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 91 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Arambula v. State

Opinion of the Court

GRAVES, Judge. —

Conviction for assault with intent to murder; punishment, two years confinement in the penitentiary.

The appeal bond in this cause is fatally defective in that it nowhere therein recites that the appellant has been “convicted of a felony,” as provided by Art. 817, C. C. P., 1925. This failure will result in a dismissal of the appeal. See Jones v. State, 9 S. W. (2d) 347; Griffin v. State, 51 S. W. (2d) 593; Hendricks v. State, 55 S. W. (2d) 839.

Accordingly the appeal is dismissed.

Dismissed.
