WOODLEY, Judge
(concurring).
I concur in the holding that the punishment assessed is within the statutory limits and is not excessive. I would point out, however, that the punishment assessed by the jury exceeds by 100 years what the majority held to be the maximum punishment under statutes providing a punishment of “any term of years not less than two” (Assault to Rape, Art. 1162 P.C.) or “any term not less than five years” (Burglary of Private Residence, Art. 1391). Brown v. State, 171 Tex.Cr.R. 167, 346 S.W.2d 842; Joseph v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 367 S.W.2d 330; Madeley v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 388 S.W.2d 187; Sellars v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 401 S.W.2d 835.
