137 S.W.2d 25

Hodges v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Decided February 28, 1940

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · decided 1940-02-28

Relies on 138 Tex. Crim. 322 - Moneyhun v. State · 138 Tex. Crim. 309 - Herd v. State

Decided 1940-02-28

GRAVES, Judge.

¶1The appellant was convicted of a violation of the liquor laws in a dry area, and was by the jury’s verdict fined the sum of $750.

¶2The verdict reads:

“Guilty
$750.00 Fine
Signed A. Caffey
Foreman' of the Jury.”

¶3This is practically the same verdict as was condemned in the case of Moneyhun v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 136 S.W.2d 219, not yet reported in state reports, and Herd v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 136 S.W.2d 220, not yet reported in state reports. Under the authority of those cases and their reasoning we hold this verdict insufficient.

¶4The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
