1. ““ ‘While it is the better practice that the jury, during the trial of the case, be told not to listen or view accounts of the trial, such becomes reversible error only when the accused is injured or prejudiced thereby. 1 Branch’s Ann.P.C.2d, Section 581, page 552; Banner v. State, 154 Tex.Cr.R. 153 , 225 S.W.2d 975 . ‘There is no showing that the juror read about this trial. In fact, only one juror had read the article.
