Opinion:
CHRISTIAN, Judge.
The offense is selling whisky in a dry area; the punishment, a fine of $100.
M. G. Closs, an inspector of the Texas Liquor Control Board, testified that he bought a pint of whisky from appellant on the 24th of October, 1937. The proof on the part of the state was to the effect that justice precinct No. 3 of Marion County, in which the sale was made, was a dry area.
The bills of exception, as qualified, fail to present error.
The judgment recites that appellant is guilty of the offense of possession of intoxicating liquor on premises where beer is sold under a permit. The judgment is reformed in order that it may be shown that appellant .has been adjudged to be guilty of the offense of selling intoxicating liquor in a dry area.
As reformed, the judgment is affirmed.
