Opinion:
HARPER, Judge.
— Appellant was charged with and convicted of a misdemeanor. He did not enter into a recognizance during the term, but attempts to perfect his appeal by entering into an appeal bond subsequent to the adjournment of court.. This confers no jurisdiction on this court. (Art. 918, Code of Criminal Procedure; Herron v. State, 27 Texas, 337; Cook v. State, 8 Texas Crim. App., 671.)
The appeal is dismissed.
Dismissed.
