Guill v. State

146 S.W. 198, 66 Tex. Crim. 332, 1912 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 250

Opinions

PRENDERGAST, Judge.

By correct complaint and information appellant was prosecuted, tried and convicted for an aggravated assault and fined $50.

The court at which he was tried convened on February 6, and adjourned February 25, 1911.

There is no statement of facts in the record. This was a misdemeanor case prosecuted and tried in the County Court. There is with the file in this court a separate document which purports to be a statement of facts. It is not copied nor certified in the record. The court below allowed thirty days after adjournment to file a statement of facts and bills of exceptions. Under the law only twenty days could be allowed. This purported statement of facts appears not to have been filed in the lower court until March 18, 1911, which was more than twenty days after adjournment. There are, in the record, what purport to be several bills of exceptions. Eeither of them shows to have been filed in the lower court. Under this state of facts none of these matters can be considered. Eone of the questions attempted to be raised can be considered without a statement of facts. And none of the bills of exception could be considered even if filed in the lower court, and within time without a statement of facts. Misso v. State, 61 Texas Crim. Rep., 241, 135 S.
