Opinion:
LATTIMORE, J.
Conviction for selling intoxicating liquor; punishment, one year in tbe penitentiary.
Tbe trial term of tbe court below ended July 31, 1929. In bis order overruling appellant's motion for new* itrial, tbei court granted "tbe statutory time for filing bills of exception." Said statutory time is "thirty days after tbe day of adjournment of court." See article 760, C. C. P. This period expired August 30,1929. On September 7tb thereafter tbe court entered an extending order. This he bad no power to do. Stewart v. State, 108 Tex. Cr. R. 661, 2 S.W.(2d) 440; Míreles v. State, 98 Tex. Cr. R. 396, 266 S. W. 418; Lattimore v. State, 109 Tex. Cr. R. 319, 4 S.W.(2d) 652. There are numerous similar holdings. Appellant's bills of exception were filed September 30th. They were filed too late, and óannot be considered.
According to tbe state's proof appellant sold one Nash a pint of whisky on November 24, 1928, in Fannin county, Tex. This made out tbe case charged in tbe indictment. All questions of controversy over facts were settled by tbe verdict of tbe jury.
Finding no error in the record, tbe judgment will be affirmed.
