L. D. STANFORD v. THE STATE.

1. — Transporting Intoxicating Liquors — Recognizance — Defective — Appeal Dismissed.

Where a recognizance, as it appears in the record, does not recite that appellant stands convicted of any offense, it is not in conformity with Art. 903 of the C. C. P. and on motion of the state, the appeal will be dismissed. See Westbrook v. State, 88 Tex.Crim. Rep., 227 S.W. 1104.

ON REHEARING. 2. — Same — Sentence — Must be Shown in Record.

On motion for rehearing we fail to find any sentence copied in the transcript, and this court is without jurisdiction, and the appeal is dismissed. See Art. 856, C. C. P; Vernon's Tex.Crim. Stats., Vol. 2, p. 851, and cases collated.

HAWKINS, JUDGE. —

The conviction is for the transportation of intoxicating liquor with punishment of one year in the penitentiary.

The state has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal because of an insufficient recognizance. As it appears in the record it contains no recital that appellant stands convicted of any offense. It is not in conformity with Article 903 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The defect is in all respects the same as that pointed out in Westbrook v. State, 88 Tex.Crim. Rep., 227 S.W. 1104, which was held fatal to the appeal.

The state's motion must be sustained, and the appeal is ordered dismissed.

Dismissed.

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING.

MORROW, PRESIDING JUDGE. —

We fail to find any sentence copied in the transcript. In the absence of the sentence, this court is without jurisdiction. See Art. 856, C. C. P.; Vernon's Texas Crim. State., Vol. 2, p. 851, and cases collated; Branch's Ann. Texas P. C., p. 338, sec. 667; also Bennett v. State, 80 Tex.Crim. Rep..

The appeal is dismissed.
