The state's motion to reinstate this appeal alleges that Supplemental Transcript of the Record shows that notice pursuant to Sec. 7 of Article 40.09, V.A.C.C.P., was delivered to counsel for appellant on October 15, 1970; and that the Clerk certifies that no objection to the transcript of the record has been made.
On March 4, 1971, a supplemental transcript was filed in this cause, showing that the Clerk of the County Court, on October 15, 1970, mailed notice of completion of the record to the attorney of record for the appellant herein. There is a notation on such notice that it was received on October 15, 1970, at 2:55 P.M. by the appellant's attorney. *Page 840 
The record fails to show that any objection was made to the trial court, and the approval of the Judge of the County Court of Waller County certifies that more than 15 days had elapsed after notice of completion of the record and further certifies that no objection had been made at the time of his approval of the record.
Appellant contends that there were in fact objections to the record and attached exhibits to a motion filed in answer to state's motion to reinstate the appeal. The exhibits show that on October 29, 1970, objections to the record were mailed and further show that they were received by the Clerk of the County Court on October 30, 1970. Although these exhibits are not properly before the court, no controversy is in fact raised by their consideration because the substance of the objections to the record as therein stated is that appellant was never arrested and that a capias was altered to falsely show that he was arrested on February 6, 1970. An examination of the record fails to reveal any such capias, and even if it did so reveal, its materiality to any matter for consideration on this appeal has not been shown. Therefore, even if these objections were properly made, and even if the trial court sustained them, no action on the part of the trial court taken thereunder would affect this record on appeal.
For the reasons herein stated, the appeal of this cause is reinstated. And, upon consideration of the record, we find that the appellant has failed to file a brief in the trial court setting forth any grounds of error. The record contains no statement of the facts, and there is no showing of indigency on the part of the appellant. Further, an examination of the record fails to reveal any matter that should be reviewed by this court as unassigned error, in the interest of justice, pursuant to Article 40.09, Sec. 13, V.A.C.C.P.
The judgment is affirmed.
