Opinion

No. 16196.

Delivered January 10, 1934.

Appeal Bond — Appeal Dismissed.

Where appeal bond filed after adjournment of trial term is approved only by the sheriff, appellate court is without jurisdiction and appeal will be dismissed.

Appeal from the District Court of Kaufman County. Tried below before the Hon. Thos. R. Bond, Judge.

Appeal from conviction for possessing liquor for purpose of sale; penalty, confinement in the penitentiary for two years.

Appeal dismissed.

The opinion states the case.

Ross Huffmaster, of Kaufman, for appellant.

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


Conviction for possessing intoxicating liquor for purposes of sale; punishment, two years in the penitentiary.

The statement of facts appears to be filed too late for consideration, but the appeal bond appears to have been filed after the adjournment of the trial term. It is approved only by the sheriff. The law requires that such bond be approved both by the sheriff and the trial judge. This court is without jurisdiction, and the appeal is dismissed.

Dismissed.
