ROBERTSON, Justice,
concurring.
While I agree the evidence did not raise the issue on the lesser included offense of aggravated assault, I file this concurring opinion only to point out that as a matter of law appellant could not be guilty of that offense and therefore was not entitled to the issue. The indictment alleged attempted capital murder of a peace officer. No issue was raised concerning appellant’s knowledge of the officer’s identity or status. For a person to be guilty of the offense of aggravated assault against a peace officer, “bodily injury” must be inflicted on the officer. TEX.PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.02(a)(2) (Vernon Supp. 1982-1983). “Bodily injury” means physical pain, illness, or any impairment of physical condition. There was no evidence of “bodily injury” having been received by the complainant; *751therefore the issue of aggravated assault was not raised as a matter of law.
I concur-
