Leal v. State
Opinions
Offense, murder; penalty, five years in the penitentiary. *Page 480
The State's Attorney has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal because the appeal bond appearing in the transcript, which shows to have been filed after the term ended at which appellant was convicted, was not approved by the Sheriff. This is made indispensably necessary by the terms of Art. 818, C. C. P. Under these circumstances this Court is without jurisdiction. Jones v. State, 99 Tex.Crim. Rep.; Miles v. State, 92 Tex.Crim.
