Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · decided 1912-05-22
<p>Bail (§ 65*) — Criminal Prosecutions — RE-COGNISANCE— SUEITCIENCY.</p> <p>A recognizance given in a prosecution for unlawfully carrying a pistol is defective, for not stating the punishment imposed, as required by statute.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Bail, Cent. Dig. § 285; Dec. Dig. § 65.*]</p>
Appeal dismissed · Decided 1912-05-22
¶1Appellant was convicted of carrying a pistol. The record is before us without a statement of facts or bills of exception. The case might be affirmed, but for the fact the recognizance is insufficient under the statute; therefore the jurisdiction of this court is not attached. It fails to set out the punishment allotted appellant, as required by the statute.
¶2The appeal is dismissed.
