on motion for rehearing.
MORRISON, Judge.
In our original opinion, we said that relator was entitled to have his 25-year sentence construed as an indeterminate sentence of not less than 5 nor more than 25 years. He now asks that we reform such sentence. This is not the proper tribunal for such motion. Relator may move the trial court to do so. But whether this is done or not, the penitentiary authorities and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles will be controlled in their treatment of relator, as they are in all cases, just as if the reformation had been effected. The provisions of Article 775, C. C. P., are mandatory.
Relator’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
