Humphreys v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
HAWKINS, Judge.
Conviction is for transporting intoxicating liquor in a “dry area,” punishment being a fine of $100.00.
The transcript contains an information but no complaint upon which to base the information. A prosecution cannot proceed upon an information alone.
If there is in fact a complaint which was omitted from the transcript, and the State should desire to reinstate the appeal we deem it proper to call attention to the fact that as copied in the transcript the information indicates that in transcribing it some averment therein was partially omitted.
The appeal is dismissed.
