Texas Supreme Court

Decided July 1, 1872

Texas Supreme Court · decided 1872-07-01

Tried below before the Hon. J. R. Burnett. The appellee was indicted for having sold spirituous liquor in a quantity less than a quart, “without first having obtained license therefor.” Numerous exceptions were taken to it, and were sustained by the court below.

Decided 1872-07-01

Evans, P. J.

¶1The indictment in this case is fatally -defective, in not having stated that the defendant, without having paid the tax, did sell, etc.

¶2By Section 121 of the act for assessment and collection of taxes, approved August 15, 1870, the penalty attaches only on the non-payment of the occupation tax, and not upon the failure to obtain the license, as was the case under the former laws.

¶3Judgment is therefore affirmed.

¶4Affirmed.
