BASS v. STATE.
    No. 24404.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    June 8, 1949.
    No appearance for appellant.
    H. P. Kucera, City Attorney, R. A. Mc-Bean and W. K. Chapman, Asst. City Attorneys, all of Dallas, Ernest S. Goens, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   KRUEGER, Judge.

The record before us reflects that appel-lánt was. charged by complaint in the Corporation Court of the City of Dallas with being a vagrant. From a judgment of conviction in said court, he appealed to the county court where upon a trial in that court he was found guilty and his punishment was assessed at a fine of $100. From said judgment, he has appealed to this court.

The City Attorney of the City of Dallas has filed a motion in this court requesting that the appeal be dismissed, because the judgment in this case is final since the fine imposed is not in excess of $100. The statute provides that in all cases appealed from an inferior court to the county court where the fine imposed by said latter court does not exceed $100, the judgment is final and no appeal lies. See Grigsby v. State, 79 Tex.Cr.R. 84, 183 S.W. 143; Foard v. State, 79 Tex.Cr.R. 330, 185 S.W. 570; and Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P. Art. 53 (formerly Art. 87) where many authorities are cited under Note 2.

The appeal is dismissed.

Opinion approved by the Court.
