Ralph KING, Appellant, v. STATE of Texas, Appellee.

MOORRISON, Judge.

Our prior opinion is withdrawn.

The offense is embezzlement; the punishment, 2 years.

The indictment in this case is fatally defective because it fails to allege the ownership of the funds which were empezzled. This is a matter of substance and may be raised at any time. See Ryan v. State, 76 Tex.Crim. R., 176 S.W. 49; Osborne v. State, 93 Tex.Crim. R., 245 S.W. 928; and Martin v. State, 144 Tax.Cr.R. 313, 162 S.W.2d 722.

For the defect pointed out, the judgment is reversed and the prosecution is ordered dismissed.

WOODLEY, P. J., absent.
