HANSON v. STATE

No. 32931.

342 S.W.2d 648 (1961)

Oliver Merwin HANSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Texas, Appellee.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

February 8, 1961.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

No attorney for appellant of record on appeal.

Dan Walton, 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 carrying a pistol; the punishment, 60 days in jail and a fine of $25.

Article 483, Vernon's Ann.P.C., which denounces the offense with which appellant was charged, provides that the punishment for a violation thereof shall be by a fine or imprisonment. It does not provide for both.

This exact question was before this Court in Everett v. State, 154 Tex.Cr.R. 262, 226 S.W.2d 873
