V. W. Hannsz v. State
    No. 32,716.
    January 11, 1961
    McDONALD, Judge, not participating.
    
      Lovell & Lyle, by James R. Lovell, Dumas, for appellant.
    
      Leon Douglas, State’s Attorney, Austin, for the state.
   DICE, Judge.

The conviction is for driving while intoxicated; the punishment, 3 days in jail and a fine of $75.

The record shows that appellant and his sureties entered into the recognizance on appeal prior to the date notice of appeal was given.

A recognizance on appeal entered into before notice of appeal is given is insufficient to confer jurisdiction on this court. Clepper v. State, 164 Tex. Cr. R. 89, 297 S.W. 2d 172 and Thomas v. State, 165 Tex. Cr. R. 272, 306 S. W. 2d 714.

The appeal is dismissed.

Opinion approved by the Court.

McDonald, J., not participating.
