Tucker v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Jan 15, 1958
308 S.W.2d 879 (Tex. Crim. App. 1958)

Opinion

No. 29300.

November 27, 1957. Rehearing Denied January 15, 1958.

Appeal from the 52nd Judicial District Court, Comanche County, R. B. Cross, J.

J. M. Parker, Gorman, for appellant.

Leon B. Douglas, State's Atty., Austin, for the State.


The offense is burglary; the punishment, two years.

The statement of facts appearing in the record was not filed with the clerk of the trial court as required by Article 759a, Section 4, Vernon's Ann.C.C.P. Therefore the statement of facts cannot be considered. Williams v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 264 S.W.2d 112.

The complaint and information, as well as all matters of procedure, appear regular; therefore nothing is presented for review.

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

On Appellant's Motion for Rehearing


Appellant insists that the statement of facts was filed with the clerk of the trial court and therefore should be considered and in support thereof has attached to his motion for rehearing an affidavit of the clerk in which it is certified that the statement of facts was filed in his office immediately after its approval.

While it now appears that the statement of facts was filed with the clerk of the trial court the record reflects that it was not filed within 90 days after notice of appeal was given as required by Art. 759a, sec. 4, Vernon's Ann.C.C.P. The statement of facts, not having been filed within the 90 day period provided by Statute, cannot be considered. Hankins v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 294 S.W.2d 850 and Reynolds v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 306 S.W.2d 134.

The motion for rehearing is overruled.

Opinion approved by the Court.
