Cothrum v. State

Opinion of the Court

GRAVES, Judge.

Appellant was convicted of forgery, and by the jury assessed a penalty of two years in the State penitentiary.

The record fails to show that appellant has ever been sentenced as is required by Art. 769, Vernon’s Ann. C. C. P., and *266 cases there cited, the conviction being for a felony less than' capital.

The appeal is therefore dismissed.
