Opinions

CHRISTIAN, Judge.

The offense is selling securities without having registered as required by law; the punishment, confinement in the penitentiary for two years.

The recognizance for the appeal is fatally defective in that it is not shown that appellant has been convicted of a felony. Moore v. State, 51 S. W. (2d) 583. Appellant being enlarged under a fatally defective recognizance, this Court is without jurisdiction. Read v. State, 4 S. W. (2d) 547.

Appellant is granted fifteen days from this date in which to perfect the appeal.

The appeal is dismissed.

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.
