OPINION

DALLY, Judge.

This is a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus proceeding. Art. 11.07, V.A.C.C.P.

On May 2, 1977, the petitioner was convicted of the offense of delivery of sine-quan, a dangerous drug. The punishment assessed was imprisonment for five years.

The petitioner now asserts that the indictment under which he was convicted is void.

See Ex parte Russell, 561 S.W.2d 844 (Tex.Cr.App.1978); Ex parte Valdez, 550 S.W.2d 88 (Tex.Cr.App.1977); Ex parte Banks, 542 S.W.2d…
