“"... a defect in the description of property under Art. 21.09, supra, must be raised by a motion to quash, and may not be raised for the first time on appeal, Unless the description is so deficient as to be no description at all and to constitute a jurisdictional defect, as was the case in Willis, [ v. State, 544 S.W.2d 150 (Tex.Cr. App. 1976)]." (Emphasis in original.)”

2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Harris v. State · Ex Parte Canady““Description of Property “If known, personal property alleged in an indictment shall be identified by name, kind, number, and ownership. When such is unknown, that fact shall be stated, and a general classification, describing and identifying the property as near as may be, shall suffice. If the property be real estate, its general locality in the county, and the name of the owner, occupant or claimant thereof, shall be a sufficient description of the same.” [Emphasis added.]”
