215 S.W. 327, 85 Tex. Crim. 519, 1919 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 531

Opinions

LATTIMORE, Judge.

was convicted in the District Court of Victoria County of the offense of murder and his punish-men fixed at five years in the penitentiary.

It is moved in this case by the Assistant Attorney General that the appeal be dismissed because it does not appear from the record that notice of appeal was given and entered in the minutes of the District Court, as required by statute. An inspection of the transcript discloses that the same fails to show that any notice of ap peal was entered of record in the minutes of the court below. The authorities of this State are unanimous in holding that the statute requiring this to be done is imperative. Long v. State, 3 Texas Crim. App., 321; Solari v. State, 3 Texas Crim. App., 482; Johnson v. State, 8 Texas Crim. App., 671; Truss v. State, 38 Texas Crim. Rep., 291; Lenox v. State, 55 Texas Crm. Rep., 259; Thomas v. State, 56 Texas Crim. Rep., 246; Young v. State, 60 Texas Crim. Rep., 290; Rios v. State, 76 Texas Crim. Rep., 364, 174 S. W. Rep., 1050.

The appeal is dismissed.
