Thanks for your efforts finding these citations. The earliest
apparently is from 1946. Using Google I may have found cites from 1937

Texas Case Law - ESCOBAR v. STATE, 138 Tex. Crim. 71 (1939)

Verifying these hits is a challenge because the database charges
individuals $47.99 per day. Someone with access to Loislaw via an
institutional subscription might be able to verify the information.
