    WINANS v. STATE.
    No. 19518.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    March 9, 1938.
    State’s Rehearing Granted April 20, 1938.
    Rehearing Denied June 8, 1938.
    
      Eugene F. Mathis, of San Angelo, for appellant.
    Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.
   GRAVES, Judge.

The offense charged is for violating the local option liquor laws, Vernon’s Ann.P.C. art. 666 — 1 et seq., the punishment assessed- being a-fine of $300.

The record is before us without a complaint being incorporated therein. We have heretofore held’ that a complaint is necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon the county court. See article 415, Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P.; McQueen v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 117 S.W.2d 79, opinion this day handed down; and Olivares v. State, 127 Tex.Cr.R. 316, 76 S.W.2d 140.

The judgment is reversed and the prosecution ordered dismissed.

On Motion for Rehearing.

This cause has been heretofore reversed and ordered dismissed on account of a failure to find embodied in the record the complaint upon which such prosecution should have been predicated.

It is now made to appear that a proper complaint was filed in said cause at the proper time, and the failure to have same present here in the transcript was an inadvertence and mistake upon the part of the county clerk, and, a certified copy thereof being now filed herein, the order dismissing this cause is set aside, and we proceed to consider the same upon its merits.

We find from the agreed statement of facts that certain investigators of the State Liquor Control Board, armed with a search warrant, on July 9, 1937, found 34 twelve-ounce cans of beer, which was intoxicating, in the place of business of appellant, in Runnels county, Tex., which was a “dry area.”

The complaint and information seem to properly charge a violation of the law, no bills of exception appearing in the record. The facts are deemed sufficient, and this .judgment is affirmed.

On Motion for Rehearing.

KRUEGER, Judge.

Appellant insists that the court erred in holding the complaint and information sufficient to charge the offense. An examination thereof convinces us that the cause was properly disposed of in our original opinion. The statement of facts included in the record is sufficient to support the conviction.

The motion for a rehearing is overruled.

PER GURIAM.

The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been'examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court.
