The opinion

MORRISON, Judge

(dissenting).

Ex parte Austin, Tex.Cr.App., 410 S.W.2d 439 ; Ex parte Dowden, Tex.Cr. App., 408 S.W.2d 512 ; Ex parte Brown, Tex.Cr.App., 404 S.W.2d 590 and Ex parte Cooper, Tex.Cr.App., 388 S.W.2d 939 , each were attacks upon convictions obtained in contravention of Art. 494, V.A.C.C.P., as amended in 1959 and should not be overruled, because they represent a constitutionally sound effort, in keeping with the intent of the Legislature, to insure that each indigent is represented by effective and prepared counsel.

I respectfully dissent to that portion of the majority opinion which overrules them.
