Hines v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

292 S.W.2d 131 (Tex. Crim. App. 1956)

Opinion

No. 28406.

June 20, 1956.

Appeal from the 99th Judicial District Court, Lubbock County, James G. Denton, J.

No appearance for appellant.

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


The conviction is for murder with malice; the punishment, 50 years' confinement in the penitentiary.

No statement of facts accompanies the record and no brief has been filed on behalf of the appellant.

There appears in the transcript a formal bill of exception to the action of the court in overruling appellant's motion to quash the special venire.

The bill merely sets out the motion to quash and certifies that the court overruled the same and that appellant excepted to the court's ruling. No evidence adduced upon the hearing of the motion appears in the record nor does the bill certify to any facts showing error in the drawing of the venire.

The proceedings appear to be regular and no reversible error being shown, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

Opinion approved by the Court.
