Sessions v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
The opinion states the case.
1Opinion of the Court
MORROW, Judge.
Appellant was tried before a jury for unlawfully carrying a pistol, and on conviction his punishment was affixed at a fine of $100.
Appellant complains that the court refused to consider his motion for a new trial; which appears to have been filed three days after the conviction. Hnder article 839, C. C. P., the court is given discretion' to hear a motion for new trial in felony cases after two days, but the requirement that they should be filed within two days appears to be mandatory in misdemeanor cases. Banks v. State, 79 Texas Crim. Rep., 508, 186 S. W. Rep., 840.
