OPINION

ROBERTS, Judge.

This is an appeal from a conviction for attempted burglary of a vehicle. V.T.C.A., Penal Code, Sections 15.01 and 30.04. Upon a plea of not guilty, appellant was convicted by a jury; punishment was assessed by the court at one year of confinement in the county jail.

After careful consideration, we sustain appellant’s contention that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction, and accordingly, pursuant to the dictates of Burks v. United States1 and Greene v. Massey,2 we order that the judgment of conviction be set aside and reformed to show an acquittal.
