BELCHER, Commissioner.
Appellant was convicted for the offense of unlawfully selling ' intoxicating' liquor in a wet area, without' having obtained a license from the Texas Liquor Control Board to sell such liquor, and his punishment was assessed at a fine of $100.
There appears in this record neither a recognizance nor an appeal bond. In the absence of a sufficient appeal bond or recognizance or a showing that appellant is in jail, this court is without jurisdiction of a misdemeanor appeal. White v.
