Eric Nunn v. The State.
    No. 19085.
    Delivered June 16, 1937.
    The opinion states the case.
    
      John S. Simmang, of Giddings, for appellant.
    
      Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Attorney, of Austin, for the State.
   LATTIMORE, Judge.

— Conviction for being a delinquent child; punishment, confinement for one year in the reformatory.

This prosecution seems to have proceeded only upon a complaint. We find in the record no information. This we regard as a fatal defect. See Art. 1085, C. C. P.; Ex parte Cain, 86 Texas Crim. Rep., 509; Hogue v. State, 87 Texas Crim. Rep., 170; Brown v. State, 99 Texas Crim. Rep., 70; Ex parte Chandler, 99 Texas Crim. Rep., 255. Because the statute requires an information, and none appears in the record, this court is without jurisdiction. Inasmuch as there appears a complaint hr accordance with the demands of the statute, and an information may be filed, the judgment of the trial court will be reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
