Thomas v. State

Court of Appeals of Texas

Decided July 1, 1882

Court of Appeals of Texas · decided 1882-07-01

<p>Appeal from the District Court of Tom Green. Tried below before the Hon. A. O. Cooley.</p>

Decided 1882-07-01

Willson, J.

¶1This is an appeal from a judgment final upon a forfeited bail bond. The judgment nisi is fatally defective because it omits to state “ that the same will be made final unless good cause be shown at the next term of the court why the defendant did not appear.” Code Crim. Proc. 441; Collins v. State, ante, p. 356.

¶2The objections urged to the validity of the bond, by defendant’s counsel, we do not think are tenable. It is a bail bond taken under the order of an examining court, binding the party to appear before the District Court, and to answer to the charge of robbery, and we think the bond possesses all the legal requisites of a valid bail bond.

¶3The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.

¶4Reversed and remanded.
