McCOY et al. v. STATE.
No. 19751.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
May 25, 1938.
Motion to Reinstate Appeal and Petition for Rehearing Denied June 15, 1938.
P. S. Kouri, John Davenport, and W. T. Locke, all of Wichita Falls, for appellant.
Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
MORROW, Presiding Judge.
This is an appeal from a judgment final on a bond forfeiture in the District Court of Lampasas County.
The transcript fails to contain any judgment making the forfeiture final, nor does it contain any notice of appeal. Under the circumstances, this court has no choice other than to order a dismissal of the appeal, and it is so ordered.
On Appellants' Motion to Reinstate the Appeal.
CHRISTIAN, Judge.
Since the opinion was delivered dismissing the appeal a certified copy of the judgment making the forfeiture of the bond final has been brought forward. Also it is made to appear that proper notice of appeal was given. However, no brief has been filed in this court and we fail to find a waiver by the state of such filing. Under the circumstances, we would not be warranted in reinstating the appeal. It is the uniform holding of this" court that in cases such as this a brief must be filed in this court, or a waiver of such filing must appear of record. Belton v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 110 S.W.2d 913.
The motion to reinstate the appeal is overruled.
PER CURIAM.
The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court.
