   PRENDERGAST, J.

This is a case for unlawfully carrying a pistol. The record clearly shows, and the attorney for the appellant, when the cause was submitted to this court, orally conceded, that no final judgment had been entered in the case when the ease was appealed, and that it had to be dismissed by this court.

Article 837 of the Code of Criminal Pro-’ cedure provides: “Where, from any cause whatever, there is a failure to enter judgment and pronounce sentence upon conviction during the term, the judgment may be entered and sentence pronounced at any succeeding term of the court, unless a new trial has been granted, or the judgment arrested, oí-an appeal has been taken.” This court has uniformly held that where no final judgment had been entered at the term of conviction, and an appeal had been taken, a judgment nunc pro tunc could not thereafter be entered, and that made a part of the record in this court, so as to correct the failure to enter the judgment at the term of trial. Estes y. State, 38 Tex. Cr. R. 506, 43 S. W. 982. Other cases might be cited, but we deem it unnecessary.

This case is therefore ordered dismissed.
