Walton v. State

262 S.W.2d 494, 159 Tex. Crim. 224, 1953 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1849

Opinion

BELCHER, Judge.

Appellant was convicted for knowingly attempting to pass as true a forged instrument, and his punishment was assessed at five years in the penitentiary.

There are no formal nor informal bills of exception. The only question presented is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the conviction.

This case was jointly tried with another case (Walton v. State, No. 26,647, page 222, this volume), wherein the appellant was charged with passing a forged instrument, and the same is referred to for a summary of the facts, the check described in the indictment herein being that written on January 10 by appellant to which he signed the name R. S. Smith and which was introduced in evidence.

We hold that the evidence is sufficient to support the conviction.

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

Opinion approved by the Court.
