Opinion
Appellant was convicted for a felony, on the charge by indictment, for the unlawful sale of intoxicating liquor.
The Assistant Attorney General, on behalf of the- State, has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal because of the insufficiency of the appeal bond. There is found in the record an appeal bond in the sum of $2000 which is approved by the sheriff. The statute, article 904, Code of Criminal Procedure, requires that the bond shall be given in an amount to be fixed by the court as well as the sheriff. It has been held that unless a bond shows the approval of the court it is insufficient and will necessitate a dismissal of the "appeal. Wells v. State, 68 Texas Crim. Rep., 277, 150 S. W.
