Appeal from Criminal District Court, Dallas County; W. L. Crawford, Jr., Judge.
Willie Fielder was convicted of unlawfully carrying a pistol, and he appeals.
Appeal dismissed.
O. C. McDonald, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Opinion:
PRENDHRGAST, P. J.
Appellant was convicted for unlawfully carrying a pistol. He waived a jury, and the cause was tried before the court.
The record nowhere discloses that he entered into any recognizance, or that he is in jail, pending this appeal. The Assistant Attorney General's motion to dismiss the appeal, with the record as stated, must therefore be sustained. Young v. State, 8 Tex. App. 81; State v. Fatheree, 23 Tex. 202.
However, even if the record had shown that he was in. jail, or had duly entered into recognizance, his appeal would avail him nothing, for there is neither a bill of excep tions nor a statement of facts. In the absence of these, nothing is raised which could be reviewed anyway.
The appeal is dismissed.
