Cooper v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Cooper v. State, 319 S.W.2d 704 (Tex. Crim. App. 1959)
167 Tex. Crim. 205; 1959 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1812
Morrison

Cooper v. State

Opinion of the Court

MORRISON, Presiding Judge.

The offense is the sale of whiskey in a dry area; the punishment, a fine of $200.

Appellant plead guilty before the court without the intervention of a jury and cannot now be heard to complain that the State failed to prove the dry status of the area where the sale was made. A plea of guilty in a misdemeanor case admits the truth of each material averment in the information. Hunt v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 317 S.W.2d 743; Hinojosa v. State, 151 Tex.Cr.R. 301, 206 S.W.2d 1011; and Ex parte Clinnard, 145 Tex.Cr.R. 460, 169 S.W.2d 181.

The judgment is affirmed.
