Opinion

No. 19399.

Delivered February 9, 1938.

Statement of Facts — Affidavit of Inability to Pay.

Conviction for theft of automobile would not be reversed on ground that defendant had been deprived of a statement of facts, where affidavit filed in trial court setting up the inability of defendant to pay for statement of facts or to give security therefor was not shown to have been called to attention of the trial judge.

Appeal from the District Court of Midland County. Hon. Charles L. Klapproth, Judge.

Appeal from conviction for theft on an automobile; penalty, confinement in penitentiary for three years.

Affirmed.

The opinion states the case.

T. D. Kimbrough, of Midland, for appellant.

Lloyd W. Davidson, State's Attorney, of Austin, for the State.


Conviction for the theft of an automobile; punishment, three years in the penitentiary.

The record is before us without bills of exception or statement of facts. There appears in the transcript an affidavit filed in the trial court setting up the inability of appellant to pay for a statement of facts or to give security therefor. There is nothing to show that said affidavit was called to the attention of the trial judge. It follows that a reversal of the judgment on the ground that appellant has been deprived of a statement of facts would not be warranted. Fuller v. State, 264 S.W. Rep., 953; Beddingfield v. State, 93 S.W.2d 738; Kelley v. State, 91 S.W.2d 343; Moore v. State, 104 S.W.2d 862.

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
