WILSON v. THE STATE

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Nov 18, 1896

Carrying Pistol — Appeal — Jurisdiction on.

When the record on appeal from a conviction for carrying a pistol, fails to show that defendant is in jail, or that he entered into a recognizance for the appeal, the jurisdiction of this court does not attach and the appeal will be dismissed.

DAVIDSON, JUDGE.

Appellant was convicted for carrying on and about his person a pistol, and prosecutes an appeal to this court. This record fails to show that appellant is in jail, and it does not contain a recognizance; hence the jurisdiction of this court has not attached. The motion of the Assistant Attorney-General is sustained, and the appeal is dismissed.

Dismissed.
