It is a settled rule that a search warrant is not necessary in order to search the person of one under lawful arrest. 38 Tex.Jur., p. 73; Tones v. State, 48 Tex.Cr.R. 363 , 88 S.W. 217 , 1 L.R.A.,N.S., 1024, 122 Am.St.Rep. 759 , 13 Ann.Cas. 455. Having a right to arrest and search appellant, he also had a right to search the car. Stokes v.
