The State, by its district attorney, has filed a motion for a rehearing in which it is contended that we erred in reversing the judgment of the trial court. After a most careful review of the record in the light of the State's motion, we remain of the opinion that the cause was properly disposed of on appellant's motion for a rehearing. This court must confine itself to the record and cannot decide cases upon affidavits and other matters dehors the record. If we attempted to do so, we would experience an endless task of trying to decide controversies between the State and the accused which were not supported by the record. See Weeks v. State, 113 S.W.2d , 532; McBride v. State, 93 Tex.Crim. Rep.; Davidson v. State, 4 S.W.2d , 74.
The State's motion for a rehearing is overruled.
The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court. *Page 30
