Burge v. State

Opinion of the Court

GRAVES, Presiding Judge.

This is a conviction for felony theft; the punishment, two years in the penitentiary.

This case grows out of and is a companion case to that of White v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 242 S.W.2d 889.

The instant facts are insufficient to authorize a conviction for the same reason as assigned in the White case.

For the reasons there stated, the judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded.
