¶1OPINION ON APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING

MORRISON, Judge.

¶2Our prior opinion is withdrawn.

¶3The offense is felony theft; the punishment, three months in the county jail and a fine of $300.00.

¶4The punishment provided for felony theft by Article 1421, Vernon’s Ann.P.C., is “confinement in the penitentiary (for) not less than two nor more than ten years.” *123Since the punishment assessed is less than that provided by law, the judgment must be reversed.

State, 171 Tex.Cr.R. 42, 344 S.W.2d 694; Gilliland v. State, Tex.Cr. App., 342 S.W.2d 327; Justice v. State, 170 Tex.Cr.R. 383, 341 S.W.2d 431; and see cases collated at 13A Tex.Dig., Criminal Law @=>1177.
