The offense is that of operating a motor vehicle on a public road while intoxicated; the punishment, confinement in jail for thirty days and a fine of $50.00.

This does not satisfy the statute, and this Court is without jurisdiction to enter any order other than to dismiss the appeal. Article 830, Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P.; Griffin v. State, Tex. Cr.App., 272 S.W.2d 523; Deming v. State, 167 Tex.Cr.R. 592, 322 S.W.2d 543.
