Lee v. State

235 S.W. 1094, 1921 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 658

Opinion

LATTIMORE, J.

Appellant was convicted in the district court of Smith county of the offense of possessing intoxicating liquor, and his punishment fixed at two years in the penitentiary. '

The law defining and punishing this offense was so amended by the recent Special Session of the Thirty-Seventh Legislature (chapter 61) as to amount to a repeal of the statute, and for this reason this cause must be reversed and the prosecution ordered dismissed. Cox v. State (No. 6423) 234 S. W. 531; Petit v. State (No. 6510) 235 S. W. 579, decided at the present term and not yet [officially] reported.
