ON APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING
DICE, Commissioner.
We have again reviewed the record in the light of appellant’s motion for rehearing and remain convinced that a proper disposition was made of the case in our opinion on original submission.
The petition for writ of habeas corpus which appellant has attached to his brief on motion for rehearing will not be permitted as such may not be used as a substitute for appeal. Ex parte Eldridge, 154 Tex.Cr.R. 50, 224 S.W.2d 262.
In refusing to consider the petition for habeas corpus we are not unmindful of appellant’s right to attack the validity of his conviction on the ground of denial of due process in an original habeas corpus proceeding brought for such purpose. Ex parte Bush, 313 S.W.2d 287, 166 Tex.Cr.R. 259; Jones v. Cunningham, 83 S.Ct. 373.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
Opinion approved by the Court.
