DAVIDSON, Judge.

¶1Does the respondent in an extradition case make out a prima facie case authorizing extradition by the introduction in evidence of the executive warrant of the Governor of this state, which is in all things regular upon its face?

¶2This is the sole question presented by this record.

¶3The requisition of the Governor of the demanding state for relator’s extradition was not offered in evidence.

¶4Ex parte Norris, 154 Tex. Cr. R. 68, 225 S. W. 2d 193, is a direct authority requiring that the question be answered in the affirmative. See, also, Ex parte Berry, 139 Tex. Cr. R. 67, 138 S. W. 2d 813; Ex parte McMillan, 156 Tex. Cr. Rep. 355, 242 S. W. 2d 384.

¶5The judgment remanding relator to the custody of the transfer agent in extradition is affirmed.

¶6Opinion approved by the court.
