STANFORD, J.

¶1 This is an appeal from an order dissolving a temporary injunction, entered in the court below May 3, 1924, more than 20 days after said order was entered. Article 4644 of Vernon’s Statutes of this state, 1922 Supplement, provides as follows:

“Any party or parties to any civil suit wherein a temporary injunction may be granted or refused, or having been granted shall on motion be dissolved, or when motion to dissolve has been overruled, under any of the provisions of this title,'in term time or in vacation, may appeal from the order or judgment granting or refusing, or dissolving or refusing to dissolve such injunction, to the Court of Civil Appeals having jurisdiction of such appeal; but such appeal shall not have the effect to suspend the order appealed from, unless it shall be so ordered by the court or judge who enters the order; provided, the transcript in 'such case shall be filed with the clerk of the Court of Civjl Appeals not later than twenty days after the entry of record of such order or judgment granting, refusing, dissolving or refusing to dissolve such' injunction.”

¶2 Under the above article, it is uniformly held .that the appellate court can acquire jurisdiction only when the record is filed in the appellate court within the time specified.

¶3 This question is not raised by appellees, but it is • fundamental error, apparent upon the face of the record, that this court has no jurisdiction, and' it becomes our duty to dismiss this appeal.
