The trial took place at a term of the county court which adjourned on the 4th day of 'June, 1927. On September 3, 1927, there was filed in the county court a statement of facts, and, on September 1st, several bills of exceptions were filed: Under the law, the appellant was required to file the statement of facts and bills of exceptions within 30 days after the adjournment of court, unless before the expiration of that time the trial judge or court, for good cause shown, extended the time within which the statement of facts and .bills of exceptions might be filed. See article 760, subd. 5, O. C. P. 1925; Gribble v. State, 85 Tex. Cr. R. 52, 210 S. W. 215, 3 A. L. R. 1096. The 30 days allowed by statute expired on the 4th day of July. 'On the 27th of that month the judge entered an order granting 60 additional days within which the statement of facts and bills of exceptions might be filed. Such order was unauthorized. To be effective, the order should have been made before the expiration of July 4th. See Miller v. State, 98 Tex. Cr. R. 621, 267 S. W. 487; Mireles v. State, 98 Tex. Cr. R. 396, 266 S. W, 418.
