Hicks v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
MORRISON, Presiding Judge.
The offense is equipping a gaming house, as denounced by Article 629, V.A.P.C.; the punishment, thirty days in jail.
No statement of facts accompanies the record.
The state, through her district attorney, confesses error, and we agree. Bill of Exception No. 1 recites that the case was filed on February 24, called for trial on February 25, and that a motion for continuance which raised the question was overruled. Article 514, Y.A.C.C.P., provides that an accused shall have two days in which to prepare for trial. See also Pugh v. State, 163 Texas Cr. Rep. 258, 289 S.W.…
