Opinion:
HARPER, J.
The term of court at which appellant was tried adjourned September 28, 1912. He did not enter into a recognizance during term time, but after the adjournment of court undertook to perfect his appeal by entering into an appeal bond. This being a conviction for a misdemeanor, the appeal bond confers no jurisdiction on this court. Herron v. State, 27 Tex. 337; Jones v. State, 1 Tex. App. 485; Arnold v. State, 3 Tex. App. 437.
The appeal is dismissed.
