    Appeal from Polk County Court; E. T. Murphy, Judge.
    Palmer Webb was convicted of child desertion, and he appeals.
    Affirmed.
    S. E. Hill and Cade Bethea, both of Livingston, for appellant.
    Sam D. Stinson, State’s Atty., of Austin, and Robt. M. Lyles, Asst. State’s Atty., of Groesbeck, for the State.
   HAWKINS, J.

Conviction is for child desertion, punishment being assessed at 30 days’ confinement in the county jail.

No statement .of facts accompanies the record, and there are no bills of exception save one complaining of the refusal of a special charge. No exceptions were filed to the charge given, and, this being a misdemeanor case, it is necessary both to object to the court’s charge and supplement the same by special charges intended to cover any omission in the main charge.

Eor that reason, and the additional one that in the absence of the facts proven this court .is not able to appraise the applicability of the charge requested, no error is shown, and the judgment is affirmed.
