OPINION
ODOM, Judge.
This appeal is taken from a conviction for the offense of forgery. Punishment was assessed by the jury at five years confinement. (See also Wood v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 440 S.W.2d 640)
Three grounds of error are brought forth. In view of our disposition of the case, only one will be discussed.
By her second ground of error, appellant contends that prejudicial error was committed when the trial court allowed the state to impeach her as a witness with prior convictions which she claims are void. We agree that error was committed and that such error requires reversal.
