WOODLEY, Presiding Judge.

The offense is driving a motor vehicle upon a public highway while intoxicated, the minimum punishment for which is 3 days in jail and a fine of $50. (Art. 802 Vernon’s Ann.P.C.)

The judgment appealed from was rendered upon the verdict of a jury assessing a fine of $50, but no jail term.

The punishment assessed being less than the minimum provided by law, reversal of the conviction is required. Compian v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 363 S.W.2d 468, and cases there cited.

The judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded.
