J. Breakwell v. The State.
No. 3873.
Decided January 5, 1916.
¡Vagrancy — Notice of Appeal — Jurisdiction.
Where the only notice of appeal contained in the record was recited in the recognizance, and even this was defective, this court has no jurisdiction, and the appeal is dismissed.
Appeal from the County Court of Bexar. Tried below before the ¡Hon. Nelson Lytle.
Appeal from a conviction of vagrancy; penalty, a fine of $200.
The opinion states the case.
No brief on file for appellant.
G. C. McDonald, Assistant Attorney General, for the State.

Opinion:
HAKPER, Judge.
Appellant was convicted of being a vagrant and his punishment assessed at a fine of $200.
No motion for a new trial accompanies the record. The record contains no bills of exception, nor a statement- of facts. The only notice of appeal contained in the record is recited in the recognizance, the conditions of which are that he shall appear before the court from day to day and from term to term in order to abide the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeals of the State of Texas in this ease. This recital has been held to be insufficient to confer jurisdiction on this court.
The appeal is, therefore, dismissed.
Dismissed.
