    Willie D. Thomas v. State
    No. 29,386.
    October 30. 1957.
    No attorney for appellant of record on appeal.
    
      
      Leon Douglas, State’s Attorney, Austin, for the state.
   DICE, Judge.

The conviction is for driving while intoxicated; the punishment, 30 days in jail and a fine of $100.00

The record reflects that on May 31, 1957, appellant’s motion for new trial was overruled and notice of appeal given. It further appears that on May 3, 1957, prior to the date notice of appeal was given, appellant and his sureties entered into recognizance on appeal.

A recognizance on appeal entered into before notice of appeal is given is insufficient to confer jurisdiction on this court. Clepper v. State, 163 Texas Cr. Rep. 278, 297 S.W. 2d 172.

The appeal is dismissed.

Opinion approved by the Court.
