Dunn v. State

120 S.W.2d 452, 135 Tex. Crim. 398, 1938 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 742

Opinions

Christian, Judge.

The offense is selling whisky in a dry area; the punishment, a fine of $100.00.

M. G. Gloss, an inspector of the Texas Liquor Control Board, testified that he bought a pint of whisky from appellant on the 24th of October, 1937. The proof on the part of the State was to the effect that justice precinct No. 3 of Marion County, in which the sale was made, was a dry area.

The bills of exceptions, as qualified, fail to present error.

The judgment recites that appellant is guilty of the offense of possession of intoxicating liquor on premises where beer is sold under a permit. The judgment is reformed in order that it may be shown that appellant has been adjudged to be guilty of the offense of selling- intoxicating liquor in a dry area.

As reformed, the judgment is affirmed.

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.
