GRAVES, Judge.

¶1Appellant was convicted in á trial before the County Court’ at Law for an aggravated assault upon an officer and sentenced to serve 30 days in jail.

¶2It is noted that in the complaint the date of the charged offense is “cn or about the 6 day of December, A. D. 19 — ,” etc., evidently an impossible date at this time. It is also noted that the information based upon the complaint contains the date of the offense as the 6th day of December, 1946, thus constituting a variance between the complaint and information. This is fatal to the conviction. See Branch’s Ann. Tex. P. C., p. 230, secs. 435 and 436.

¶3In the event of the filing of a new complaint and information, we call attention to Art. 214, C. C. P., which authorizes cities and towns to establish rules authorizing the arrest without warr rant of certain persons. If the City of San Antonio has such an. ordinance, it should be shown in the statement of facts.

¶4On account of the date set forth in the complaint being without the statute of limitations, this judgment is reversed and the prosecution ordered dismissed.
