Head Matter:
PRIVITT v. STATE
No. 23652.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
May 14, 1947.
Rehearing Denied June 18, 1947.
John Davenport, of Wichita Falls, for appellant.
Ernest S. Goens, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
KRUEGER, Judge.
Appellant was convicted of the offense of selling intoxic.itlng liquor in a dry area and his punishment was assessed at confinement in the county jail for a period of one year and a fine of $1,000.
The complaint and information, in addition to charging the primary offense, charged two prior convictions for the purpose of enhancing the punishment.
There is not any statement of the facts accompanying the record. There is, however, what purports to be a statement of the facts proven on the motion for a new trial. This is incorporated in the transcript in violation of Sec. 2 of art. 760 C.C.P., as amended by the 42nd Legislature, Vernon's Ann.C.GP. art. 760, subd. 2.
Appellant first complains of the action of the trial court in overruling his motion for a change of venue. No error is reflected by the bill because the law does not provide for a change of venue in misdemeanor cases. See Duffield v. State, 118 Tex.Cr.R. 191, 43 S.W.2d 104; Patton v. State, 124 Tex.Cr.R. 647, 6S6, 65 S.W.2cl 308.
The testimony heard on the motion for a new trial and which is incorpo rated in the transcript does not constitute a bill of exception and cannot be considered. However, if we could consider the same, it fails to show any misconduct on the part of the jury. Consequently, the court was justified in overruling the motion.
No error appearing from the record, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
PER CURIAM.
The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals arid approved by the Court.
