BEASLEY v. STATE.
    No. 22085.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    April 29, 1942.
    On Motion to Reinstate Appeal May 27, 1942.
    Rehearing Denied June 24, 1942.
    Alex P. Pope, of Tyler, for appellant.
    Spurgeon E. Bell, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   HAWKINS, Presiding Judge.

Conviction is for selling whisky in dry area, punishment being a fine of $150.

The only notice of appeal shown in the record is a docket entry. The notice does not appear to have been carried into the court’s minutes. This is required by Art. 827, C.C.P. See authorities cited under said article in Note 4, Vernon’s Tex. C.C.P., Vol. 3. A docket entry is not sufficient.

The appeal is dismissed.

On Motion to Reinstate Appeal

KRUEGER, Judge.

On a former day of this term of court we dismissed the appeal in this case because of a defective record. The record has since been perfected by the filing of a supplemental transcript accompanied by a motion to reinstate the appeal. „ The motion is granted, the appeal is reinstated, and the case will now be disposed of on its merits.

Appellant’s only contention is that the court erred in overruling his motion to quash the jury panel on the ground of racial discrimination. On this question the record in this case is in exactly the same condition as that in 162 S.W.2d 964, this day decided, and for the reasons there stated, appellant’s contention is overruled.

Finding no reversible error in the record, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

PER CURIAM.

The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court.
