HAWKINS, J.

¶1Conviction is for assault with intent to commit robbery; punishment, three years in the penitentiary.

¶2The record before us contains neither statement of facts nor bills of .exception, hence nothing is presented for reyiéw. However, we find ourselves without authority to enter any order save dismissing the appeal because of a defective recognizance which confers no jurisdiction on this court. The recognizance merely recites that appellant “stands charged” with an offense and omits a recital that he has been “convicted.” Article 817, C. C. P.; Sanders v. State, 83 Tex. Cr. R. 110, 201 S. W. 411; Thompson v. State, 90 Tex. Cr. R. 222, 234 S. W. 400, 243 S. W. 848; Bethune v. State, 95 Tex. Cr. R. 508, 254 S. W. 798; Daniel v. State, 95 Tex. Cr. R. 649, 255 S. W. 444; Wilmering v. State, 100 Tex. Cr. R. 169, 272 S. W. 463; Lynch v. State, 102 Tex. Cr. R. 638, 279 S. W. 271. The state’s motion to dismiss the appeal for the defect in the recognizance must prevail.

¶3The appeal is dismissed.
