Geisler v. State
Geisler v. State
Opinion of the Court
The conviction is for aggravated assault with a motor vehicle as defined in Art. 1149, Vernon’s Ann.P.C.; the punishment, a fine of $50.
The record reflects that appellant’s motion for new trial was overruled on April 19, 1957, during the April term of the trial court, and notice of appeal was given on that date.
An appeal bond entered into during the term of court at which notice of appeal is given does not comply with the statute, Art. 830, Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P., and does not confer jurisdiction upon this court to enter any order other than to dismiss the appeal. Fowler v. State, 154 Tex.Cr.R. 450, 228 S.W.2d 512; Banti v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 289 S.W.2d 244 and Nesbitt v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 306 S.W.2d 901.
Appellant is granted fifteen days in which to file a proper appeal bond and move to reinstate the appeal.
The appeal is dismissed.
Opinion approved by the court.
