McCULLOCH v. STATE.
(No. 4324.)
(Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Dec. 27, 1916.
On Motion for Rehearing, Jan. 31, 1917.)
1. Ceiminal Haw <&wkey;1081 — Appeal — Dismissal-Absence op Notice.
Even if an appeal bond in a criminal ease is deemed sufficient to operate as an appeal recognizance, the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals does not attach in the absence of a notice of appeal.
[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Criminal Haw, Cent. Dig. §§ 2722-2724, 2962; Dec. Dig. &wkey;1081.]
On Motion for Rehearing.
2. Criminal Haw &wkey;>1128(4) — Appeal—Record-Affidavit.
Where no notice of appeal in a criminal ease is in the record, an affidavit showing that accused gave notice of appeal in the trial court, but it was not entered of record, is insufficient.
[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Criminal Haw, Cent. Dig. § 2952; Dec. Dig. &wkey;>1128(4).]
Appeal from Hopkins County Court; Dan R. Junell, Judge.
T. C. McCulloch was convicted of violating the pistol law, and he appeals.
Appeal dismissed, and motion for rehearing overruled.
G. H. Crane, of Sulphur Springs, for appellant. C. C. McDonald, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, J.
Appellant was convicted of violating the pistol law; his punishment being assessed at a fine of $100.
This record contains neither a statement of facts, bill of exceptions, motion for new trial, nor notice of appeal, and the attempted recognizance seems to be an appeal bond. Without notice of appeal, even if this bond should be counted shfficient to operate as a recognizance, the jurisdiction of this court does not attach. For these reasons the appeal therefore must be dismissed; but, even had the jurisdiction of this court attached, the record as presented would require an affirmance.
The appeal therefore is dismissed.
