¶1Appellant was convicted of the offense of theft from the person, upon his plea of guilty to an indictment charging the offense of robbery by assault, and his punishment assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for two years.
¶2The state confesses error and concedes that the conviction for theft from the person cannot be sustained under the indictment for robbery by assault, since it is not an included offense.
¶3The state’s position is well taken, under the holding of this court in Van Arsdale *636v. State, 149 Tex.Cr.App. 639, 198 S.W.2d 270, that the offense of theft from the person is not an included offense in the crime of robbery and that a court is without jurisdiction to try an accused for the offense of theft from the person under an indictment charging- the offense of robbery. See, also, Ex parte Dies, 160 Tex.Cr.R. 468, 272 S.W.2d 373.
¶4The judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded.
¶5Opinion approved by the Court.
