                              Memorandum Opinion
                        _______________________________
                                       
Before QUINN, C.J., and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the Department) appeals from an order of expunction granted in favor of Earl Preston Cheeks (Cheeks).  It contends that there is no evidence to support the order because Cheeks served "probation" for the 1961 offense and reversal is required because the evidentiary hearing upon the motion to expunge was not transcribed.  Since Cheeks concedes the accuracy of the second issue and need for a reversal and remand, we reverse the order granting expunction and remand the cause to the trial court.
