¶1ON APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING

BELCHER, Commissioner.

¶2Appellant takes this Court to task for our original disposition of his contention that the extraneous offenses were not admissible. He says our statement that “intent is an essential element of the crime of conversion” will hereafter make extraneous offenses admissible in numerous cases simply because intent is an essential element of many crimes. Our opinion is not to be so construed. We stated earlier in our opinion the State’s theory as to their admissibility. We here observe that Jones v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 376 S.W.2d 842, is the authority upon which the trial court admitted the collateral offenses and supports his ruling. He gave the same charge as he gave in Jones v. State, supra.

¶3The motion for rehearing is overruled.

¶4Opinion approved by the Court.
