Barrow v. State (138 S.W. 109, 1911)

PRENDERGAST, J.

Appellant was tried and convicted in the justice court of precinct No. 8 of Denton county, Tex., on October 20, 1910, of a simple assault, and fined 85.

Seventy-six days thereafter he filed an appeal bond and attempted to ' appeal the ease to the county court. In the county court the county attorney made a motion to dismiss the appeal, on the ground that the appeal bond was insufficient, in that it does not bind the defendant to appear at any particular place. Upon the authority of Russell v. State, 84 S. W. 589, this motion was properly sustained, and the ease properly dismissed from the county court. The appeal bond in the Russell Case, supra, is precisely, in this respect, the same as the bond in this case.

The judgment is therefore affirmed.
