OPINION

FOWLER, Justice.

Appellant, Sonny Willis, entered a plea of not guilty before a jury to the offense of theft. TexPenal Code Ann. § 31.03 (Vernon 1981).1 The jury found him guilty and assessed punishment at three years probation and a $1,500 fine. In three points of error, appellant contends the trial court erred in failing to grant his pre-trial motion to quash or set aside the indictment and in failing to strike surplusage from the indictment. Appellant also alleges the trial court erred in admitting an improper extraneous offense. We affirm.
