OPINION ON APPELLANT’S SECOND MOTION FOR REHEARING
BELCHER, Judge.
Appellant urges that the majority opinion is not supported by Angle v. State, supra, because the only correction of the statement of facts in Angle was by way of affidavits of the attorneys who approved the record.
In Angle this court considered the statement of facts shown to be complete by such affidavits “In fairness to appellant” and said:
“While there are cases which would appear to support a contrary holding, we have decided that the additional evidence that has come into the record by way of affidavits of the attorneys who approved the statement of facts is available and that under the present record the statement of facts may be considered.”
To consider this record in which a clerical error relating only to the date of a prior offense resulting in a conviction used for enhancement has been corrected is consistent with our holding in Angle.
It is noted that the Supreme Court of the United States in its opinion in Henry *650v. State of Mississippi, 379 U.S. 443, 85 S.Ct. 564, 13 L.Ed.2d 408, set the precedent, that appellate courts are no longer bound in all cases to confine themselves to the record on appeal sent up from the trial court.
Appellant’s second motion for rehearing is overruled.
MORRISON, and ONION, JJ., dissent to the overruling of appellant’s second motion for rehearing.
