WOODLEY, Presiding Judge.

The offense is defrauding with a worthless check in the sum of $47.51; the punishment, six months in jail and a fine of $250.

The complaint and information alleged that the check was given to Sue Simp son. The evidence shows that it was given to Reva Sue Simp kins. The surnames are not idem sonans and the state concedes that the variance is fatal. Brown v. State, 71 Tex.Cr.R. 45, 158 S.W. 533; Vestal v. State, 162 Tex.Cr.R. 223, 283 S.W.2d 955; White v.
