## Opinion text

ROBERTS, Judge
(dissenting).
I respectully dissent from the majority’s holding. As the majority recognize, these statements did not amount to a confession, and, on that basis, I reassert my position as stated in the dissenting opinion in Butler v. State, 493 S.W.2d 190 (Tex.Cr.App.1973).
ODOM, J., joins in this dissent.
