Opinion:
PRENDERGAST, J.
This is an appeal from a conviction for vagrancy, a common prostitute, wherein the fine was assessed at $25.
The term of court at which the conviction occurred adjourned on December 15th. The statement of facts and bills of exceptions were not filed until January 12th following, 8 days more than the 20 which could have been allowed for that purpose. There was no order allowing any time after adjournment; hence the state's motion to strike out the bills and statement of facts must necessarily be graqted. De Friend v. State, 69 Tex. Cr. R. 329, 153 S. W. 881; Durham v. State, 69 Tex. Cr. R. 71, 155 S. W. 222; and a great many other cases. Without these, there is no question presented which can be reviewed.
The judgment is therefore affirmed.
