McCORMICK, Judge,
concurring.
Although the arrest of appellant would clearly pass constitutional muster, the strict application of Article 14.04, V.A.C. C.P., dictates a different result. Since the Legislature has chosen to allow Article 14.-04, supra, to continue as part of our jurisprudence without clarifying what is intended by the “about to escape” provisions, the courts of this State will continue to wrestle with the problem. The instant case vividly demonstrates the need for such legislative clarification.
With these remarks, I concur in the judgment of the Court.
