Johnie (Son) Cooper v. State.
    No. 30,309.
    January 14, 1959.
    No attorney for appellant of record on appeal.
    
      Leon Douglas, State’s Attorney, Austin, for the state.
   MORRISON, Presiding Judge.

The offense is the sale of whiskey in a dry area; the punishment, a fine of $200.00.

Appellant plead guilty before the court without the intervention of a jury and cannot now be heard to complain that the state failed to prove the dry status of the area where the sale was made. A plea of guilty in a misdemeanor case admits the truth of each material averment in the information. Hunt v. State, 167 Texas Cr. Rep. 51, 317 S.W. 2d 743; Hinojosa v. State, 151 Texas Cr. Rep. 301, 206 S.W. 2d 1011; and Ex parte Clinnard, 145 Texas Cr. Rep. 460, 169 S.W. 2d 181.

The judgment is affirmed.
