HANKS V. STATE
13 Tex.App. 289 (1882)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction for a forged deed.
FACTS: Hanks (D) and another used a forged deed to fraudulently transfer land in Texas.
The acts constituting the forgery were committed in the state of Louisiana with no acts
being done in Texas. D was charged with forgery under a Texas statute that allows for
conviction of crimes that do not require a personal presence in the state. D was convicted.
D appealed: if he was guilty of any crime at all, it was one punishable by the state of
Louisiana and not by Texas because Texas has no jurisdiction to try this crime.
