1. ““The fourth and fifth grounds of error allege error in the trial court’s submission of an instruction on the law of parties. Tex.Penal Code Ann., Secs. 7.02, 7.03 (Vernon 1974). Based on Todd v. State, 601 S.W.2d 718, 721 (Tex.Cr.App. 1980), any error that may have occurred, however, was harmless in that the trial court made appellant’s guilt depend on a finding that he committed the offense ‘either acting alone or together with another as a person....’ As the evidence of appellant’s conduct alone was sufficient to sustain the conviction, no charge on parties was required. McCuin v. State, 505 S.W.2d 827 (Tex.Cr.App.1974). Appellant’s fourth and fifth grounds of error are overruled.””
