Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · decided 1912-01-24
<p>Carrying Pistol—Appeal Bond—Recognizance.</p> <p>Where defendant was convicted in the County Court, gave notice of appeal and instead of entering into a recognizance, filed an appeal bond, his appeal must be dismissed for want of a recognizance, and he can not thereafter file a recognizance on motion for rehearing, as it did not supply a defective recognizance.</p>
Decided 1912-01-24
¶1 This appeal must be dismissed for want of a recognizance. There is in the record what purports to be an appeal bond signed by appellant' and two sureties. It is not a recognizance but an appeal bond. This is not a sufficient compliance with *417 the law, and the motion of the Assistant Attorney-General must be sustained.
¶2 The appeal is dismissed.
¶3 Dismissed.
