1Opinion of the Court

WHITTINGTON, Justice.

(May 22, 1989)

A jury convicted Gregory Christopher of three separate offenses of burglary of a habitation and assessed punishment at fifty years’ imprisonment. In three points of error, appellant asserts that: (1) the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction; (2) the trial court erred in refusing to quash the jury panel; and (3) the trial court erred in allowing evidence of an extraneous offense to be admitted. We find merit in appellant’s first point of error; accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the trial court and render a judgment of acquittal.
