SORRELL v. STATE.
    No. 12992.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Feb. 12, 1930.
    Stevenson & Knetsch, of Seguin, for appellant.
    A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   LATTIMORE, J.

Conviction for driving an automobile uponl a public highway while intoxicated; punishment, a fine of $50.

Appellant has but one bill of. exceptions, which was filed too late for our consideration. On May 18th, the court overruled the motion for new trial, and by order made granted 60 days from that date in which to file bills of exception. By supplemental order made during said 60 days, such -time was extended 25 days. The only bill of exceptions in this record was filed 2 days after! the expiration of the extended time; hence same cannot be considered.

The facts in the case seem ample| to support the judgment and sentence. On- the state’s case, appellant was very drunk, and was operating his automobile upon a) public highway.

The jury were justified in their judgment. Same will be affirmed.
