DAVIDSON, Judge.
The offense is murder; the punishment, four years in the penitentiary.
The notice of appeal herein appears only ás a docket entry upon the trial court's docket; it is not shown to have been entered of record in the minutes of the court.
We have repeatedly held that a valid notice of appeal must be entered of record and that a docket entry is not sufficient. Art. 827, C.C.P.; Martinez v. State, 157 Tex.Cr.R. 91, 246 S.W.2d 633.
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
