(No. 11612.)
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
May 16, 1928.
Reinstated and affirmed June 23, 1928.
Rehearing Denied Nov. 14, 1928.
W. W. Kirk, of Plainview, for appellant.
Meade E. Griffin, Dist. Atty., of Plainview, and A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for tbe State.

Opinion:
CHRISTIAN, J.
Tbe offense is possession of intoxicating liquor for tbe purpose of sale; tbe punishment confinement in the penitentiary for two years.
It appears from tbe caption of tbe transcript that tbe term of tbe court at wbicb appellant was convicted adjourned October 29, 1927. It appears from tbe transcript that appellant entered into recognizance on appeal November 2,1927. Thus tbe transcript shows that tbe court had adjourned at tbe time appellant entered into recognizance. A recognizance entered into after tbe expiration of the term is a nullity. Johnson v. State, 101 Tex. Cr. R. 560, 275 S. W. 1036; Articles 817 and 818, C. C. P. Appellant being enlarged on a void recognizance, this court is without jurisdiction to pass on tbe merits of tbe appeal. Warrick v. State, 99 Tex. Cr. R. 68, 268 S. W. 1118.
Tbe appeal is dismissed. Appellant is granted 15 days from this date in which to file proper appeal bond.
PER CURIAM. Tbe foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals-has been examined by the judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by tbe court.
