Carlile Davis v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Decided November 28, 1923No. 7923PublishedCited by 8 opinions

The opinion states the case.

1Opinion of the Court

Appellants were convicted of robbery, and the verdict and judgment condemned them to five years confinement in the penitentiary.

Our State's Attorney calls attention to the fact that the record fails to show that any sentence was ever pronounced against either of them, and for this reason files a motion to dismiss the appeal. In a felony case less than capital sentence is a prerequisite of appeal. See Article 856, Vernon's C.C.P. and the authorities collated thereunder; also Robinson v. State,54 Tex. Crim. 559).

The motion of the State is sustained and the appeal dismissed.

Dismissed.
