HAWKINS, Presiding Judge.

Conviction is for possessing for the purpose of sale whisky in ‍‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‍a dry area, the punishment assessed being a fine of $100.00.

There appears in the record a request that the appeal be dismissed, but same ‍‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‍is signed only by appellant’s attorney. A request for dismissal must be executed by the appellant in person and properly authenticated. See 4 Tex. ‍‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‍Jur., p. 497, sec. 347; Jennings v. State, 68 Tex. Cr. R. 613, 151 S. W. 1050; Catron v.

The State’s pleadings are in proper form to charge the offense, and there is no statement of facts nor bills of exception in the ‍‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‍record. In this condition nothing is presented for review.

The judgment is affirmed.
