Opinion

MORROW, Presiding Judge.

The conviction is for the unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale; penalty assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for one year.

The count of the indictment upon which the conviction is founded is that charging that appellant "did then and there possess intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale.”

The indictment is insufficient to charge an offense.

The subject is discussed in the case of Offield v. State (Tex. Cr. App.) 75 S.W.(2d) 882.

The judgment is reversed, and the prosecution ordered dismissed.
