Tucker v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Tucker v. State, 126 S.W.2d 977 (Tex. Crim. App. 1939)
136 Tex. Crim. 586; 1939 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 259
Graves

Tucker v. State

Opinion of the Court

Graves, Judge.

The appellant was convicted of the offense of murder with malice, and his punishment assessed at twenty-five years in the penitentiary.

The record before us contains neither a statement of facts nor bills of exception, hence no question is presented for review. It appears, however, that the sentence herein does not conform to the provisions of the indeterminate sentence law,. Vernon’s Ann. C. C. P., Art. 775. The same is therefore reformed so as to sentence the appellant to serve a term of not less than two nor more than twenty-five years in the state penitentiary, and as reformed the judgment will be affirmed.
