Ex Parte Burns
Annotate this Case322 S.W.2d 289 (1959)
Ex parte Guinon BURNS.
No. 30564.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
March 25, 1959.
Fryer, Milstead & Luscombe, El Paso, for appellant.
Leon B. Douglas, State's Atty., Austin, for the State.
MORRISON, Presiding Judge.
This is an appeal from an order of the District Court of El Paso County remanding relator to the custody of the sheriff of said county for delivery to an agent of the State of New Mexico.
The demand of the Governor of the State of New Mexico alleges that relator is charged with the crime of "attempt to commit sodomy." There is no such offense in Texas. 12 Tex.Juris., sec. 58, p. 301. There is no showing in this record as to the laws of New Mexico. It therefore follows that it is not shown that relator is substantially charged in the demanding State with a crime under the laws of that State as is required by Section 3 of Article 1008a, Vernon's Ann.C.C.P.
The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
