Coats v. State
1922 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 578
| Tex. Crim. App. | 1922

The conviction is for the offense of vagrancy; punishment fixed at a fine of one hundred dollars.

The recognizance is defective in that it fails to comply, in substance or in form, with the statute, Article 919, Code of Criminal Procedure. It is particularly faulty in failing to state the punishment assessed.

The State's motion to dismiss upon this ground is sustained.

The appeal is dismissed.

Dismissed.
