FIELDS v. STATE

No. 34008.

353 S.W.2d 470 (1961)

Robert Lee FIELDS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

December 6, 1961.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John J. Browne (On Appeal Only), Houston, for appellant.

Frank Briscoe, Dist. Atty., Samuel H. Robertson, Jr., Asst. Dist. Atty., Houston, and Leon B. Douglas, State's Atty., Austin, for the State.


MORRISON, Judge.

The offense is murder with malice; the punishment, 25 years.

No statement of facts or bills of exception appear in the record.

Appellant's attorney on appeal only alleges that the judgment is void because it fails to recite that the punishment had been determined by the jury. We do not agree. The judgment recited that he was guilty of a felony "as found by the jury, and that he be punished, as has been determined. * * *"
