Shelton v. State
1912 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 149
| Tex. Crim. App. | 1912

Appellant was prosecuted and convicted of the offense of unlawfully betting at a game played with cards.

The indictment is fatally defective, and the motion of appellant to quash the same should have been sustained. The identical question presented in this case was decided by this court in the case of Chapman v. State, 62 Tex.Crim. Rep.; and Johnson v. State, decided at this term of the court, and which are here referred to.

The judgment is reversed and prosecution ordered dismissed.

Dismissed.
