OPINION
RENFRO, Justice.
In a primary election contest Raymond Clark was adjudged to be the Democratic nominee for the office of County Commissioner, Precinct No. 2 of Parker County.
The contestor, Charles Bailey, appealed.
Appellee Clark filed a motion praying for dismissal of the appeal for the reason the appellant did not timely give notice of appeal and file an appeal bond in compliance with Article 13.30 of V.A.C.S., Election Code.
More than five days had elapsed before appellant gave notice of appeal and filed an appeal bond.
Compliance with the statute (Article 13.30) is necessary to give this court jurisdiction.
Appellee's motion is granted and the appeal is hereby dismissed.
Dismissed.
