Tony Garcia v. State.
No. 24611.
February 1, 1950.
Rehearing Denied March 22, 1950.
Piranio & Piranio, Dallas, for appellant.
George P. Blackburn, State’s Attorney, Austin, for the state.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, Judge.
The offense is assault with intent to murder; the punishment, seven years in the penitentiary.
That appellant shot the injured party three times with a pistol is not disputed. According to the state's testimony, the shooting was without justification or excuse; according to appellant's testimony, he shot in self-defense.
The defensive theory, which the jury rejected, was pertinently submitted by the trial court in his charge. The facts war-want the jury's finidng.
No bills of exception appear in the record, without which we cannot consider appellant's contention that the trial court erred in overruling his motion for a continuance.
The judgment is affirmed.
Opinion approved by the court.
