OPINION
ONION, Judge.The conviction is for Sale of Intoxicating Liquor in a Dry Area; the punishment, three (3) months in jail and а fine of $200.-00.
Sentence was pronounced and notice of appeal was given October 31,1966.
The reсord on appeal has not been рrepared and approved as required by Article 40.09, Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P.
It appears therе was no court reрorter, and the trial judgе prepared the statement of facts after the parties were unable to аgree upon the same, but this fact, even coupled with the cоurt’s refusal to grant a new trial and allow the defendant to withdraw his notiсe of appeal, does not cоmply with the requirements оf Article 40.09(7), V.A.C.C.P., that the “entirе record” be aр*380proved by the court. See Johnson v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 420 S.W.2d 728.
The time for filing the defendant’s brief, in which he must assign his grounds of error, does not begin to run until the apрroval of the reсord by the court. Articlе 40.09, Sec. 9, V.A.C.C.P.
The disposition of the appeal will be suspended to await the apрroval of the entire record and further рroceedings which mаy be had in the trial court under Article 40.09, supra, аfter such approval as though the record had not been filed in this Court. Stoker v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 415 S.W.2d 923.
The appeal is abated.
