ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
BELCHER, Judge.
Subsequent to the delivery of the original opinion in this cause, a supplemental transcript containing two formal bills of exception not shown in the original transcript were forwarded to this court.
Appellant urges error because he never entered a plea to the information when it was read to the jury.
It appears from the bills of exception that the appellant did not in person or by counsel plead to the information when it was read to the jury.
Both the court’s charge to the jury and the judgment recite that the appellant plead “not guilty.”
The recitations in the court’s charge to the jury and in the judgment entered of record refute the claim that no plea was entered for the defendant when the information was read to the jury. Ward v. State, 160 Texas Cr. Rep. 338, 268 S.W. 2d 669; Gonzales v. State, 318 S.W. 2d 658; Seale v. State, 158 Texas Cr. Rep. 440, 256 S.W. 2d 86; Sims v. State, (page 98, this volume), 323 S.W. 2d 466-468.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
Opinion approved by the Court.
