Johnson v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided June 6, 1951 · Woodley
240 S.W.2d 316; 1951 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 2237 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Johnson v. State

Opinion of the Court

WOODLEY, Commissioner.

Appellant was convicted of burglary and his punishment assessed at 12 years in the-penitentiary.

It appears by proper proof that after perfecting his appeal to this court appellant escaped from jail. It follows that this court is without jurisdiction to do other than dismiss the appeal.

The appeal is therefore dismissed.

Opinion approved by the Court.
