DALLY, Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the result reached by the majority because I believe it is a fair resolur tion of this appeal where the parties have relied upon former decisions of this Court. In the future I would follow the reasoning in Presiding Judge Onion’s dissenting opinion because I do not believe that testimony in another proceeding is the proper subject of judicial knowledge.
I would suggest a procedure that would avoid the problems raised in this appeal. When a pending motion to revoke probation alleges as a ground for revocation an offense and that offense is also alleged in an indictment, the court should announce prior to trial on the indictment that it will at the same time consider that evidence on the ground for revocation in the motion to revoke. See for example, Rodriquez v. State, 552 S.W.2d 451 (Tex.Cr.App.1977), in which the procedure suggested was used.
