ONION, Presiding Judge
(dissenting).
I remained convinced that the proper burden of proof in revocation of probation proceedings is “beyond a reasonable doubt” for the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Kelly v. State, 483 S.W.2d 467, 473 (Tex.Cr.App.1972). See also dissenting opinion in Scamardo v. State, 517 S.W.2d 293, 298 (Tex.Cr.App.1975). Since, as the majority agrees, the evidence does not show the commission of the offense charged “beyond a reasonable doubt,” I dissent to this affirmance.
