G. A. Johnson v. The State.
No. 9142.
Delivered January 14, 1925.
Rehearing denied March 18, 1925.
Driving Auto Intoxicated — Judgment Reformed.
There is no statement of facts nor bills of exception in the record, but it appears that the judgment is not responsive to the charge set out in the indictment and submitted by the court to the jury, in that it finds appellant guilty of driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor without reciting that he was driving it upon a public highway of this state. The judgment will therefore be reformed so as to adjudge appellant guilty of driving a motor vehicle upon a public highway of this state while intoxicated.

No brief filed for appellant.

Opinion:
LATTIMORE, Judge.
Appellant was convicted in the Criminal District Court of Williamson county of driving an automobile while intoxicated, and his punishment fixed at ninety days in the' county jail and a fine of $100.00.
The record is before us without a statement of facts or bill of exceptions. The indictment appears to sufficiently charge the offense. We observe, however, that the judgment finds appellant guilty of the offense of driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. It is not an offense for one to so drive such vehicle except upon a public highway. The judgment will be reformed so as to adjudge the defendant guilty of driving a motor vehicle upon a public highway of this State while intoxicated, and as reformed, there being no error in the record, an affirmance will be ordered.
Affirmed.
