Blair v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Decided November 29, 1939No. 20628PublishedCited by 4 opinions

The opinion states the case.

1Opinion of the Court

Appellant was convicted of robbery by assault, and assessed a penalty of five years confinement in the penitentiary.

An examination of the record fails to disclose that notice of appeal was given as required by law. Such is necessary to give this court jurisdiction. See Branch's Ann. P. C., Sec. 588, p. 302, and the many authorities there cited.

The appeal is therefore dismissed.
