ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
On Motion for Rehearing, appellant complains that the trial court’s second cumulation order is void for its failure to meet the requirements specified in Ward v. State, 523 S.W.2d 681 (Tex.Cr.App.1975). We agree. It has been held repeatedly that cumulation orders must contain:
(1) The trial court number of the prior conviction;
(2) the correct name of the court where the prior conviction was taken;
(3) the date of the prior conviction;
(4) the term of years of the prior conviction, and
(5) the nature of the prior conviction.
Diaz v. State, 608 S.W.2d 686 (Tex.Cr.App.1980); Young v. State, 579 S.W.2d 10 (Tex.Cr.App.1979); Ward, supra.
The cumulation order in this case stated: “Sentence in this cause to begin upon completion of time being served in F75-10377-LJ, The State of Texas v. William S. Morgan, Jr., which was imposed on February 22, 1976.”
The cumulation order is silent as to all but the third requirement, and thus is void.
Our opinion of August 12, 1982 is modified to hold the cumulation portion of the sentence void. It is ordered that the sentence imposed on February 29, 1980 by the Criminal District Court No. 3 of Dallas County in Cause No. F79-7453-HJ is corrected to run concurrently with the sentence imposed on February 22, 1976 in Cause No. F75-10377-U. The case in all other matters is affirmed.
A copy of this order shall be delivered to the Texas Department of Corrections.
