Marshall v. State
432 S.W.2d 917
Tex. Crim. App.1968Check TreatmentOPINION
The conviction is for the possession of marihuana; the punishment, fifty years.
The sole ground urged as error is that:
“The Indictment in this case is too vague, general, and indefinite to apprise*918 the defendant of the charge against him, and will not support a conviction.”
The indictment alleges that the appellant did “on or about the 24th day of August,” 1968, “ * * * unlawfully possess a narcotic drug, to-wit: marihuana.”
No motion was made to quash the indictment.
The allegations of the indictment are sufficient to charge the offense of possession of marihuana. Willson’s Tex.Crim.Forms 7th Ed. Sec. 942 ; 3 Branch 2d 355, Sec. 1423.2; Fawcett v.
