165 Tex. Crim. 272

306 S.W.2d 714

Thomas v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Decided October 30, 1957

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · decided 1957-10-30

Relies on Murphy v. State

Decided 1957-10-30

DICE, Judge.

¶1The conviction is for driving while intoxicated; the punishment, 30 days in jail and a fine of $100.00

¶2The record reflects that on May 31, 1957, appellant’s motion for new trial was overruled and notice of appeal given. It further appears that on May 3, 1957, prior to the date notice of appeal was given, appellant and his sureties entered into recognizance on appeal.

¶3A recognizance on appeal entered into before notice of appeal is given is insufficient to confer jurisdiction on this court. Clepper v. State, 163 Texas Cr. Rep. 278, 297 S.W. 2d 172.

¶4The appeal is dismissed.

¶5Opinion approved by the Court.
