ON MOTION FOR REHEARING.
WOODLEY, Judge.
We remain convinced that appellant’s contention in regard to the sufficiency of the indictment was properly disposed of on original submission.
The indictment alleged a former conviction for “the felony offense of passing a forged instrument.”
Art. 996, P.C., assigns to the offense the title “Passing forged instruments.” The punishment provided in the article determines the offense to be a felony less than capital.
*17“The felony of passing a forged instrument” necessarily includes the various elements of the offense and sufficiently describes the former conviction.
No other question being before us, appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
Opinion approved by the court.
