Johns, Shipman and Heydrick v. State

CHRISTIAN, Judge.

This is an appeal from a final judgment upon forfeiture of a bail bond.

The record fails to show that any briefs were filed by appellants in the trial court. We fail to find a waiver by the state of such filing. It is the uniform holding of this court that in cases such as this briefs must be filed in the trial court and in this court in compliance with the law and rules governing civil cases, or a waiver of such filing must appear of record.
