Opinion:
DAVIDSON, Judge;
This purports to be an appeal from a conviction as a so-called habitual offender, with punishment assessed at life in the penitentiary. •
The record has been searched in vain for evidence of the fact that a notice of appeal was made and entered of record in this ease, as required by law, art. 827, Vernon's Ann.C.C.P.
A proper notice of appeal is -necessary to invoke the appellate jurisdiction of this court.
Accordingly,- the appeal is dismissed.
