Opinion:
HODGES, J.
This appeal is from the county court of Upshur county. It appears from the pleadings that the amount in controversy is less than $200, and that the county court did not have original jurisdiction. The transcript contains no record from a justice court, nor the record of any proceedings showing that the county court acquired appellate jurisdiction of the case. The appeal will therefore be dismissed. See Royal Fraternal Union v. Bedford, 105 S. W. 523.
