CONCURRING COMMENT ON STATE’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

CLINTON, Judge,
concurring.
Understanding that while an “incomplete” charging instrument may invest a trial court with subject matter jurisdiction over a cause, by failing to object to “incompleteness” an accused does not waive or forfeit the fundamental right to a fair and impartial trial under protections constitutionally guaranteed by due process and due course of law clauses — any implication to the contrary in Studer v. State, 799 S.W.2d 263 (Tex.Cr.App.1990), notwithstanding — I join the opinion of the Court.
