TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-01-00394-CR Larry James Murray, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. 579,508, HONORABLE J. DAVID PHILLIPS, JUDGE PRESIDING Larry James Murray was convicted of speeding and fined $200 by the Lakeway Municipal Court of Record No. 1. Ten days following his conviction in the municipal court, Murray filed an appeal bond and the record was forwarded to the county court at law. Murray then moved to transfer the cause to one of the Travis County Courts at Law that tries criminal cases for a trial de novo. The county court at law overruled the motion. The court later dismissed Murray s appeal for want of jurisdiction because he did not comply with the statutory requirements for perfecting appeals from municipal courts of record. See Tex. Gov t Code Ann. ยง 30.00014(c), (d) (West Supp. 2002). Murray s sole point of error is that the county court at law erred by overruling his motion to set the case for trial de novo. Murray does not challenge the court s dismissal for want of jurisdiction. Because the dismissal is not challenged, we do not reach the ruling on the motion to transfer. The county court at law s judgment is affirmed. Marilyn Aboussie, Chief Justice Before Chief Justice Aboussie, Justices B. A. Smith and Puryear Affirmed Filed: February 22, 2002 Do Not Publish 2
