The indictment charged appellant with having previously been convicted of “attempted burglary” ... The sentence shown for the prior conviction was for “simple burglary.” In addition to the need for a judgment of conviction for the offense, discussed above, the allegations and proof would appear to reflect a fatal variance.”
