    An appeal bond, filed in the trial court more than 20 days after the term, being too late under Rev. St. 1911, art. 2084, the Court of Appeals was without jurisdiction of the appeal, as was the Supreme Court on writ of error.

    Action by Ed. Steves & Sons against R. S. Dilworth and others. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendants appealed to the Court of Appeals, and, on judgment of af-firmance there (169 S. W. 630), apply for writ of error.
    Application dismissed.
   PHILLIPS, J.

The case was tried in the district court of Bexar county for the Seventy-Third judicial district at a term beginning October 6, 1913, and ending November 29, 1913, and which could not by law continue more than eight weeks. The appeal bond of the plaintiffs in error was filed in the trial court December 29, 1913, more than 20 days after the expiration of the term. It was therefore filed too late. R. S. art. 2084. The matter does not appear to have been brought to the attention of the Court of Civil Appeals; but, the bond not having been filed in time, it was without jurisdiction of the appeal, as is this court of the application for writ of error, which is accordingly dismissed.
