DAWSON v. STATE.
    No. 14920.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Nov. 13, 1931.
    T. P. Buffington, of Anderson, and A. H. Spann and Lewis & Lewis, all of Navasota, for appellant.
    Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty.', of Austin, for the State.
   CHRISTIAN, J.

The offense is forgery; the punishment, confinement in the penitentiary for three years.

The record is before us without a statement of facts or bills of exception. No question is presented for review.

In pronouncing sentence, the court failed to make application of the provisions of the Indeterminate Sentence Law (Vernon’s Ann. C. C. P. art. 775). The sentence is reformed in order that it may be shown that appellant is condemned to confinement in the-penitentiary for not less than two, nor more than three, years.

As reformed, the judgment is affirmed.

PER CURIAM.

The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the court.
