Jones v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Appellant was indicted for unlawfully carrying on and about his person a pistol, and at his trial was found guilty of said offense, and his punishment assessed at fifteen days imprisonment in the county jail. There is no statement of facts, and the only question on appeal is as to the sufficiency of the motion in arrest of judgment.
1Opinion of the Court
DAVIDSON, Judge.
Appellant was convicted of carrying a pistol, and prosecutes this appeal.
Motion in arrest of judgment was made upon the ground that the indictment failed to allege that it was presented in court. This defect is one of form only, and does not afford a ground for arresting the judgment. Niland v. The State, 19 Texas Cr. App., 166; Willson’s Crim. Stats., sec. 1951. This is the only question presented for our consideration. The judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
Judges all present and concurring.
