MORRISON, Presiding Judge.

This is an appeal from an order of the District Court of ‍​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍El Paso County remanding relator to the custody of the sheriff of said county for delivery to an agent of the State of New Mexico.

The demand ‍​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍of the Governor of the State of New Mexico alleges that relator is charged with the crime of “attempt to commit sodomy.” There is no such offense ‍​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍in Texas. 12 Tex.Juris., sec. 58, p. 301. There is no showing in this record as to the laws of New Mexico. It therefore follows that ‍​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍it is not shown that relator is substantially charged in the demanding State with a crime under the laws of that State as is required by ‍​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍Section 3 of Article 1008a, Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P.

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
