Head Matter:
LOYD v. STATE.
No. 14177.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
May 6, 1931.
Rehearing Denied June 3, 1931.
L. Brann, of Hamilton, for appellant.
Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
CALHOUN, J.
The offense is transporting intoxicating liquor; the punishment confinement in the penitentiary for fifteen months.
No bills of exception are brought forward. Motion for new trial was overruled on the 2d day of October, 1930, and notice of appeal given on the same date. The statement of facts was filed in the trial court on the 6th day of January, 1931, which was more than 90 days after notice of appeal was given. This was too late. Article 760, C. C. P.; Simmons v. State (Tex. Cr. App.) 28 S.W. (2d) 1084.
We note that the verdict of the jury finding the appellant guilty assessed his punishment at fifteen months in the penitentiary, while the sentence fixed his punishment at confinement in the penitentiary for a straight term of fifteen months. The sentence will therefore be reformed so as to assess appellant's punishment at confinement in the penitentiary for an indeterminate period of not less than one year nor more than fifteen months, and, as so reformed, no question being presented for review, the judgment is affirmed.
PER CURIAM.
The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the court.
