Head Matter:
GARCIA v. STATE.
No. 24611.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Feb. 1, 1950.
Rehearing Denied March 22, 1950.
Piranio & Piranio, Dallas, Angelo Pi-ranio, Dallas, for appellant.
George P. Blackburn, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, Judge.
The offense is assault with intent to murder; the punishment, seven years in the penitentiary.
That appellant shot the injured party three times with a pistol is not disputed. According to the State's testimony, the shooting was without justification or excuse; according to appellant's testimony, he shot in self-defense.
The defensive theory, which the jury rejected, was pertinently submitted by the trial court in his charge. The facts warrant the jury's finding..
No bills of exception appear in the record, without which we cannot consider appellant's contention that the trial court erred in overruling his motion for a continuance.
The judgment is affirmed.
Opinion approved by the Court.
