The opinion

DAVIDSON, Judge,

dissenting.

The arrest of appellant was violative of his legal and constitutional rights. The ordinance of the city of Houston, the validity of which my brethren uphold, is void because it authorizes such an arrest.

For that reason, I do not agree to the affirmance of this case.

I may later write my views at length.
