    Tennyson SEARCY et al., Appellants, v. STATE of Texas, Appellee.
    No. 32846.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    Feb. 1, 1961.
    
      P. P. Bailo we, Dallas, for appellant.
    Henry Wade, Criminal Dist. Atty., James M. Williamson, Asst. Criminal Dist. Atty., Dallas, and Leon B. Douglas, State’s Atty., Austin, for the State.
   McDonald, judge.

This is an appeal by E. Colley Sullivan and M. E. Fields, sureties on a habeas corpus bond wherein Tennyson Searcy is principal, from the final judgment of Criminal District Court No. 2, of Dallas County, forfeiting said bond.

By motion to quash, appellants challenge the sufficiency of the judgment nisi to support the final judgment forfeiting the bond, for the reason that it fails to conform to Art. 425, Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P.

The judgment nisi recites, in part, as follows :

“ * * * this judgment will be made final unless good cause be shown why the defendant did not appear, by the sureties filing a written answer at or before 10:00 o’clock A.M. of the Monday next after the expiration of 20 days after the date of service of .ScireFacias or citation.”

Art. 425, supra, provides, in part, as follows :

“Recognizances and bail bonds are forfeited in the following manner: The * * * judgment [nisi] * * * shall state that the same will be made final, unless good cause be shown at the next term of the court why the defendant did not appear.”

In the recent case of Blue et al. v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 341 S.W.2d 917, 919, we said:

“Art. 425, Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P. requires that the judgment nisi state that the same will be made final, unless good cause be shown at the next term of court why the defendant did not appear. A judgment nisi which does not contain this provision cannot be made the basis of a final judgment.”

See cases collated under Art. 425, C.C.P.,' Note 3.

Accordingly, the judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded.
