ARMSTRONG v. STATE.
    (No. 6039.)
    (Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Feb. 23, 1921.)
    Criminal law @=>1144(13) — Evidence presumed sufficient to authorize conviction, in absence of statement of facts.
    In the absence of a statement of facts, the appellate court must presume that the evidence was sufficient to authorize a conviction.
    Appeal from District Court, Camp County; J. A. Ward, Judge.
    Winfrey Armstrong was convicted of selling intoxicating liquors, and he appeals.
    Affirmed.
    Alvin M. Owsley, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
   HAWKINS, J.

Appellant entered a plea of guilty in the district court of Camp county under a charge for selling intoxicating liquors, and the jury upon said plea assessed his punishment at confinement in the penitentiary for one year.

The appellant, without filing a motion for new trial, gave notice of appeal to this court, and entered into a recognizance, and the case is before us without a statement of facts, brief for appellant, or exceptions of any kind in the record. The indictment and other proceedings in the case appear to be regular, no fundamental error appears from the face of the record, and in the absence of a statement of facts we must presume the evidence was sufficient to authorize a conviction, and the judgment must be affirmed.
