Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas; William M. Taylor, Jr., District Judge. Before WISDOM,* COLEMAN, and SIMPSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
The appellant, Emory Bowens, was convicted of a second offense for driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated. He was sentenced to imprisonment for 180 days and to pay a fine of $250. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed, Bowens v. State, 441 S.W.2d 529.
The complaint in habeas corpus is that the conviction was so devoid of evidentiary support as to violate due process of law.
The Texas Courts and the United States District Court have found and held to the contrary. That result is amply supported by the record.
The judgment denying the writ is, therefore,
Affirmed.
