Texas Supreme Court July 1, 1875 (Cox v. State)

Reeves, Associate Justice.

There was no error in overruling appellant’s application for a continuance. He used no diligence whatever to procure the attendance of the absent parties whose testimony, as he states, was material to his defense. Confinement in jail, and want of information as to the requirements of law, when such information might have been obtained, is not a ground for continuance.
