Head Matter:
Warren Gillespie Hoyer v. State
No. 32,339.
November 2, 1960
No attorney for appellant of record on appeal.
Dan Walton, District Attorney, Samuel H. Robertson, Jr., F. Lee Duggan, Assistants District Attorney, Houston, and Leon Douglas, State’s Attorney, Austin, for the state.

Opinion:
BELCHER, Judge.
The conviction is for the possession of policy paraphernalia; the punishment, 30 days in jail and a $100 fine.
. On March 4, 1960, appellant's first amended motion for new trial was overruled and at that time he gave notice of appeal. The record further shows that on March 1, 1960, prior to the date notice of appeal was given, the appellant entered into a recognizance on appeal.
A recognizance on appeal entered into before notice of appeal is given is insufficient to confer jurisdiction on this court. Palacio v. State, 164 Tex. Cr. Rep. 18, 296 SW 2d 550.
The appeal is dismissed.
Opinion approved by the Court.
