ONION, Presiding Judge
(concurring).
I concur in the result reached, but would further point out that the admonishment was deficient for failing to inquire if the plea was uninfluenced by any “delusive hope of pardon.” I must express my puzzlement at the inference that if there had been an inquiry as to whether the guilty plea was “uninfluenced by any consideration of fear or any persuasion” there has been a minimum compliance with the mandatory provisions of Article 26.13, Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P., and any inquiry concerning “delusive hope of pardon” contained in the same sentence of the statute is no longer mandatory or even necessary.
ROBERTS, J., joins in this concurrence.
