Joe McCandless v. State
    No. 33,046.
    February 22, 1961
    
      Houston McMurry, Henrietta, for appellant.
    
      Clyde Suddath, County Attorney, Henrietta, and Leon Douglas, State’s Attorney, Austin, for the state.
   WOODLEY, Presiding Judge

This is an appeal from an order entered in the county court dismissing an appeal to that court from a conviction in the corporation court of the city of Henrietta, because of certain defects in the appeal bond.

Such an appeal is authorized. Matula v. State, 72 Tex. Cr. R. 189, 161 S.W. 965; Osborne v. State, 169 Tex. Cr. Rep., 582, 336 S.W. 2d 433.

This court is without authority to entertain the appeal, however, because the record contains no appeal bond or recognizance on appeal from the county court to this court, as required by Art. 830 C.C.P.

The appeal is dismissed.
