OPINION
CLINTON, Judge.
Charged with the offense of resisting arrest pursuant to V.T.C.A. Penal Code, § 38.03, appellant entered a plea of guilty and, upon that plea, was found guilty by the trial court. Punishment was assessed at 90 days in jail and a $100.00 fine, the former being probated for one year.
In his sole ground of error, appellant contends that the trial court erred in accepting his plea of guilty and assessing punishment involving “imprisonment” absent a knowing and intelligent waiver of his constitutional right to counsel. We agree and reverse the judgment below.
