In section 243 of his Annotated Penal Code of Texas Mr. Branch states the rule as follows:
“The judge’s dismissal of the application for habeas corpus or his refusal to try the case upon its merits is equivalent to a refusal to grant the writ and no appeal lies from such order or judgment; the remedy is by application to some other judge or court for a writ of habeas corpus.”
The appeal is dismissed.
PER CURIAM. The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the court.
