230 S.W.2d 218

Powell v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · decided 1950-05-24

Decided 1950-05-24

GRAVES, Judge.

¶1Appellant entered a plea of guilty to •the offense of burglary and was assessed a penalty of confinement in the state penitentiary for a period of eight years.

¶2The record is before us without a statement of facts or bills of exception. ■

¶3We note that the court, in sentencing the defendant, failed to make application •of the indeterminate sentence law. Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P. art. 775. Therefore, the sentence will be reformed so as to direct that the defendant shall be confined in the state penitentiary for a term of not less than two nor more than eight years.

¶4As so reformed, the judgment of the trial court will be affirmed.
