    Appeal from Bexar County Court; Nelson Lytle, Judge.
    James Grigsby was convicted in corporation court, and on appeal to the county court a fine of $100 was imposed, and he appeals.
    Appeal dismissed.
    C. C. McDonald, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   DAVIDSON, J.

Appellant appealed his case from the corporation court to the county court, in which latter court the case was tried de novo, and a fine of $100 imposed.

Motion is made to dismiss the appeal because this judgment is final, not being in excess of $100. This is a correct motion under article 87 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1911. See volume 2 Vernon’s Criminal Statutes,- art. 87, and note containing a great number of decisions upon this question. That statute requires finality of judgment in the county court where the fine is not in excess of $100.

The appeal therefore will be dismissed.
