OPINION

WOODLEY, Presiding Judge.

The offense is drunk driving; the punishment, 3 days in jail ‍​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‍and a fine of $350.00.

Trial was before the court. A plea of nolo contendere was entered.

Appellant was represented by counsel of his choice at the trial ‍​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‍and on appeal. No transcript of the court reporter’s notes reflecting any evidence that may have been offered at the trial appears in the record.

Appellant’s ‍​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‍ground of error is that the court committed reversible error in failing to warn appellant of the consequences of his plea of nolo contendere.

The ground ‍​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‍of error is overruled. See Johnson v. State, 39 Tex.Cr.R. 625, 48 S.W. 70; 16 Tex.Jur.2d 490, Sec. 313.

Art. 27.13 Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P. does not apply when the offense ‍​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‍is a misdemeanor. Alexander v. State, 163 Tex.Cr.R. 53, 288 S.W.2d 779.

The judgment is affirmed.
