Hollis v. State

151 S.W.2d 597, 142 Tex. Crim. 36, 1941 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 290

Opinion

KRUEGER, Judge.

The conviction is for felony theft; penalty assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for a term of two years.

No' such notice of appeal appears in the record as will confer jurisdiction on this court. There is a notation which seems to have been made by the court on his docket that the defendants gave notice of appeal, but this is not sufficient. The notice of appeal must be entered upon the. minutes of the court. See Art. 827, C. C. P.; Branch’s Ann. Tex. P. C., sec. 588; Neloms v. State, 146 S. W. (2d) 389, and cases cited.

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.
