1Opinion of the Court

WOODLEY, Commissioner.

The appeal is from a misdemeanor conviction for driving an automobile upon a public highway while intoxicated, the punishment having been assessed at a fine of $100.

The record contains no recognizance or bond on appeal, and it is not shown that appellant is confined in jail. This court is therefore without jurisdiction of the- appeal. See Sandifer v. State, 63 Tex.Cr.R. 361,139 S.W. 1155 and other cases listed under note 9 of art. 830, Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P.

The appeal is dismissed.

Opinion approved by the Court.
