The opinion

On Motion for Rehearing.

On motion for rehearing, appellee contends that appellant’s petition failed to allege what amount of money was involved in his claim before the board, and that the district court therefore had no jurisdiction to pass upon the ease. The petition alleged the average weekly wage of appellant, that he was 75 per cent, permanently disabled, and that he had filed his claim with the board. Absent a special exception, these allegations were sufficient under the rule announced in the cases of Travelers’ Ins. Co. v. Peters et al. (Tex. Com. App.) 17 S.W.(2d) 457 , and Texas Employers’ Ins. Ass’n v. Finney (Tex. Civ. App.) 45 S.W.(2d) 298 .

The motion is overruled.

Overruled.
