No. 25075.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Oct. 11, 1950.
Rehearing Denied Jan. 31,1951.
Further Rehearing Denied March 14, 1951.
See 236 S.W.2d 968.
Rufus N. McKnight, Dallas, for relator.
George P. Blackburn, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, Commissioner.
Relator seeks his discharge from the penitentiary upon the authority of Ex parte Baird, Tex.Cr.App., 225 S.W.2d 845, and Id., Tex.Cr.App., 228 S.W.2d 511.
The record before us does not affirmatively reflect that, giving relator credit upon his state sentence for the time actually served in the federal penitentiary, he has served the state sentence, as contended by him.
It is apparent, therefore, that relator is not shown to be entitled to' his discharge from the penitentiary.
The application for the writ of habeas corpus is refused, without prejudice, however, to the right of relator to' again seek his discharge from the penitentiary when, by crediting him with the time actually served in the federal penitentiary, he has fully served the state sentence and the penitentiary authorities refuse his discharge.
Opinion approved by the court.
