(Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
May 22, 1912.)

Appeal from Dallas County Court at Law; W. F. Whitehurst, Judge.
Jesse White was convicted of unlawfully carrying a pistol, and appeals.
Appeal dismissed.
C. E. Lane, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, C. J.
Appellant was convicted of carrying a pistol. The record is before us without a statement of facts or bills of exception. The case might be affirmed, but for the fact the recognizance is insufficient under the statute; therefore the jurisdiction of this court is not attached. It fails to set out the punishment allotted appellant, as required by the statute.
The appeal is dismissed.
