CONCURRING OPINION OVERRULING APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING
MORRISON, Judge.
The majority overruled appellant’s motion for rehearing without written opinion.
Upon examination of the record I find that I concur with my brother Roberts on all grounds save the fifth. I would also overrule appellant’s contention but would do so because appellant’s objection “to *387any conversation that was made after the arrest” was not sufficiently specific to call the court’s attention to the error he now claims. After appellant made the above objection, the court inquired of counsel as to the basis for his objection and counsel replied “[o]ur objection will go to any conversation, any statement made by Beverly after the arrest.” The trial court received no indication from counsel that he was relying upon the right of confrontation as he now contends and was, therefore, not put on notice that the testimony may have been inadmissible hearsay of a third party and in violation of Pointer v. Texas, 380 U.S. 400, 85 S.Ct. 1065, 13 L.Ed.2d 923, as appellant maintains in his brief. Since the specific ground for the objection set forth in the brief was not presented to the trial court for a ruling, no error is presented to this Court. Bell v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 442 S.W.2d 716. See also the cases collated at 12 Tex.Dig., Crim.Law 695(2), requiring specificity in objections.
For the reasons stated, I concur in the overruling of appellant’s motion for rehearing.
