238 S.W.2d 774 | Tex. Crim. App. | 1951
Rehearing
On Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing.
In his motion for rehearing appellant sets up a claim that he was deprived of a statement of facts and bills of exception without any fault of his own. Attached to this application is his “Exhibit A” consisting of an affidavit -of the court reporter. This affidavit fails to show any diligence on the part of the appellant to secure a statement of facts. As drawn it states that -he received an order for them, but does not give the time in which he received it; that at such time he had other orders for criminal and civil cases. Plis affidavit does not show, however, that they were cases tried in the court from which
We are, therefore, relegated to a question of whether or not appellant exercised due diligence to secure a statement of facts. His “Exhibit B” is a statement by the trial judge. This states no ground in aid of the question of diligence. Other affidavits from the judge and court reporter, as to the efforts made by appellant to secure his statement of facts within the time provided by law, have been presented and it is made to clearly appear that appellant did not use due diligence.
For the reason stated the appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
Lead Opinion

The record contains no bills of exception and no statement of facts.
The proceedings as shown by the transcript appear to be regular.
