*150 GRAVES, Presiding Judge.

The conviction is for the offense of misdemeanor swindling; ‍‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‍the penalty assessed is a fine of $100.

It appears from the record that the trial was had before the Honorable ‍‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‍William F. Jackson, special county judge of Waller County. However, the record fails to show that he took the oath ‍‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‍of office as required by the Constitution and by Article 555, C.C.P. 1925. See Harris v. State, 124 Tex.Cr.R. 342 ; 62 S.W.2d ‍‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‍120; McLemore v. State, 107 Tex.Cr.R. 408, 296 S.W. 552; and Salazar v. State, 102 Tex.Cr.R. 189, 276 S.W. 1105.

Because of the absence of ‍‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‍such showing, the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
