Decided November 28, 1962

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · decided 1962-11-28

Relies on Williams v. State

Decided 1962-11-28

MORRISON, Judge.

¶1The offense is negligent homicide in the second degree; the punishment, three years in jail.

¶2Our prior opinion dismissing this case is withdrawn, and the following is substituted therefor.

¶3The unlawful act charged was that appellant was operating a motor vehicle upon a public highway while his operator’s license was cancelled, suspended and revoked. This is followed by the allegations which we held requisite in Townsend v. State, 159 Tex.Cr.R. 29, 252 S.W.2d 941.

¶4We have searched the statement of facts approved by counsel for the State and appellant and fail to find therein any proof that appellant’s operator’s license had been cancelled, suspended or revoked.

¶5This being an essential element of the offense alleged, the judgment must be reversed and the cause remanded.

¶6It is so ordered.
