321 S.W.2d 585 | Tex. Crim. App. | 1959
The offense is driving while intoxicated; the punishment, 6 months in jail and a fine of $150.00.
The appellant called Mary Reynoza, who testified that the appellant had been in the club which she operated until 11:30, that he had drunk only one beer, and in her opinion that he was not intoxicated.
One DeLeon testified that he was at the club in question on the night charged in the information drinking beer, that the appellant took him home at about 11:30, and that in his opinion the appellant was not intoxicated.
Appellant, testifying in his own behalf, stated that he had drunk only one beer on the night in question and denied that he was intoxicated.
The jury resolved the issue of the appellant’s intoxication against him, and we find the evidence sufficient to support the conviction. We shall discuss the contentions advanced by the appellant in his brief.
We overrule appellant’s contention that the verdict was fatally defective because it did not recite “upon a public highway.” Frazier v. State, 159 Texas Cr. Rep. 263, 262 S.W. 2d 501, and McGee v. State, 39 Texas Cr. Rep. 190, 45 S.W. 709.
Appellant next seeks to complain about certain questions propounded to him on cross-examination. The statement of facts does not reveal that such questions were asked, nor do we find any bills of exception complaining of the same. These are the exclusive ways in which such a matter may be brought to this court for review. Article 759a, V.A.C.C.P.
Appellant’s last complaint relates to alleged jury misconduct. We need not pass upon the correctness of the ruling of the court in refusing to permit the jurors to swear to the statements which he sought to use in lieu of affidavits at the time they appeared
Finding no reversible error, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
