KNEEDLER et al. v. STATE.
No. 18593.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Nov. 18, 1936.
State’s Rehearing Granted Dec. 9, 1936.
M. M. Wade, of Vernon, for appellants.
Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
HAWKINS, Judge.
Conviction is for violating the Sunday Law, punishment being assessed át a fine of $20 against each of the appellants.
The prosecution originated in the county court of Wilbarger county. The complaint was taken by the acting county attorney of said county. So far as the record before us shows, no information was ever filed. Without an information the county court had no jurisdiction. See article 29, C.C.P., as amended by Acts 1931, c. 85, § 1 (Vernon's C.C.P. art. 29); Ethridge v. State, 76 Tex.Cr.R. 41, 172 S.W. 784; Day v. State, 127 Tex.Cr.R. 19, 74 S.W.(2d) 699.
The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
