BELCHER, Commissioner.

¶1The conviction is under Art. 567b, Vernon’s Ann.P.C., for the giving of a worthless check in the amount of $19; the punishment, a fine of $50.

¶2The failure to allege in the complaint that the check was given with intent to defraud renders it invalid. Hence this conviction is void as shown in Wright v. State, Tex.Crim.App. 324, S.W.2d 883, and the cases there cited.

¶3The judgment is reversed and the prosecution is ordered dismissed.

¶4Opinion approved by the Court.
