Staten v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided April 10, 1940 · Graves
138 S.W.2d 1073; 139 Tex. Crim. 60; 1940 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 225 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Staten v. State

Opinion of the Court

GRAVES, Judge.

The conviction is for murder with malice; the punishment assessed is confinement in the State penitentiary for a term of thirty years.

The record before this court contains neither a statement of facts nor bills of exception, hence nothing is presented for review. The indictment seems to be regular. The motion for a new trial contains matters alleged to be errors committed upon the trial of this cause, which we are unable to correctly appraise on account of the absence of a statement of facts and bills of exception.

The judgment is affirmed.
