George A. KEILMANN, Appellant, v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee.
    No. 28279.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    March 28, 1956.
    No-appearance for appellant.
    Leon B. Douglas, State’s Atty., Austin, for the State.
   DAVIDSON, Judge.

The offense is murder; the punishment, four years in the penitentiary.

The notice of appeal herein appears only ás a docket entry upon the trial court’s docket; it is not shown to have been entered of record in the minutes of the court.

We have repeatedly held that a valid notice of appeal must be entered of record and that a docket entry is not sufficient. Art. 827, C.C.P.; Martinez v. State, 157 Tex.Cr.R. 91, 246 S.W.2d 633.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
