OPINION

DOUGLAS, Judge.

The offense is robbery by assault; ‍‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‍the punishment, ninety-nine years. This is a companion case with Thomas v. State, 451 S.W.2d 907, ‍‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‍and Thornton v. State, 451 S.W.2d 898.

Appellant’s two grounds for reversal are the same as the first ‍‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‍and second grounds which were overruled in Thornton v. State, supra.

The judgment is affirmed.
