No. 27562.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
April 20, 1955.
On Motion for Rehearing June 1, 1955.
C. S. Farmer, Waco, for appellant.
John-R. Lee, Dist. Atty.; Kermit, H. D. Glover, County Atty., Pecos, León Douglas, State’s Atty., Austin, for the State. .

Opinion:
WOODLEY, .Judge.
The appeal is from a conviction for aggravated assault; the punishment, two yéars in j ail.
The record contains no recognizance or bond on appeal, and there is no" showing that appellant is confined in jail.
A notation from the court's docket suggesting that a recognizance may have been entered into is not sufficient. Steele v. State, 94 Tex.Cr.R. 345, 251 S.W. 222.
In the absence of a bond or recognizance substantially in the form prescribed by Art. 831, C.C.P.,. and -there being no showing that the defendant is confined in jail, we are without jurisdiction to enter any order other; than to dismiss the appeal. Skinner v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 252 S.W.2d 167.
The appeal is dismissed.
