Opinion:
DAVIDSON, Judge.
This purports to be an appeal from a conviction as a so-called habitual offender, with punishment assessed at life in the penitentiary.
The record has been searched in vain for evidence of the fact that a notice of appeal was made and entered of record in this case, as required by law (Art. 827, C. C. P.).
A proper notice of appeal is necessary to invoke the appellate jurisdiction of this court.
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
