OPINION

ONION, Presiding Judge.

This is an appeal from a conviction for possession ‍‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‍of marihuana with the punishment being assessed at five years.

On December 1, 1969, the appellant, having waived trial by jury, ‍‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‍entered a plea of guilty before the court.

His sole contention on appeal is that the trial court erred in failing to ‍‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‍grant his motion for probation.

Where the motion for probation has been presented to the trial court, it rests within the ‍‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‍sound discretion of the court as to whether probation should be granted and such decision is not appealable. Martin v. ‍‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‍State, Tex.Cr.App., 452 S.W.2d 481, and cases there cited.

The judgment is affirmed.
