Head Matter:
WALL v. STATE.
(No. 11684.)
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Feb. 29, 1928.
Reinstated and Affirmed March 14, 1928. Rehearing Denied June 20, 1928.
G. R. Smith, Smith & Abernathy, and John Doyle, all of McKinney, for appellant.
A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
CHRISTIAN, J.
The offense is assault with intent to murder; the punishment confinement in the penitentiary for four years.
The recognizance recites that appellant "stands charged with the offense of assault ' with intent to murder," but fails to show that appellant has been convicted. It is necessary that the recognizance or appeal bond show that appellant has been convicted. Article 817, C. C. P.; Wilmering v. State, 100 Tex. Cr. R. 169, 272 S. W. 463. Appellant being enlarged under a defective recognizance, this court is without jurisdiction. Rhea v. State, 101 Tex. Cr. R. 298, 275 S. W. 1021.
The appeal is dismissed.
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 state.
