McQueen v. State

DAVIDSON, Judge.

The offense is the unlawful possession of whiskey for the purpose of sale in a dry area; the punishment, a fine of $150.00.

In order to sustain a conviction for the offense charged, it is necessary that the testimony show' that Runnels County is a dry area within the meaning of the Texas Liquor Control Act. The statement of facts contains no such proof. The evidence is, therefore, insufficient to support the conviction. See: Gribble. v. State, 115 S. W. (2d) 962, 134 Tex. Cr. R. 442; Gribble v. State, 111 S. W. (2d) 276, 133 Tex. Cr. R. 357; Hardy v. State, 113 S. W. (2d) 918,…
