	<SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">	Appellant Paul Allgyer appeals from his conviction as a second offender for driving a motor
vehicle in a public place while intoxicated.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 49.04 (West 1994 &amp; Supp.
1997).  The court assessed appellant's punishment at confinement in the county jail for two years probated
and a fine of $750.00.  We will affirm.</SPAN>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">		The only issue presented for review is whether the trial court erred in overruling appellant's
motion to quash the information.  In his motion to quash, appellant alleged the information should be
quashed because it failed to allege a culpable mental state.  Appellant urged at trial, and contends on
appeal, that the Penal Code requires the State in its information in driving while intoxicated prosecutions
to allege a culpable mental state.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 6.02(b) (West 1994).  Although appellant
makes cogent arguments in his brief, precedent is squarely against him.  Contentions and arguments that
are the same as those made by appellant have been considered and rejected in five recent opinions by four
courts of appeals, including this Court.  <EM>See</EM> <EM>Sanders v. State</EM>, 936 S.W.2d 436 (Tex. App.--Austin 1996,
pet. ref'd); <EM>Aguirre v. State</EM>, 928 S.W.2d 759 (Tex. App.--Houston [14th Dist.] 1996, no pet.); <EM>State
v. Sanchez</EM>, 925 S.W.2d 371 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1996, pet. ref'd); <EM>Chunn v. State</EM>, 923
S.W.2d 728 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1996, pet. ref'd); <EM>Reed v. State</EM>, 916 S.W.2d 591 (Tex.
App.--Amarillo 1996, pet. ref'd).</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">		Because these opinions consider and answer contentions that are the same as made by
appellant, no further discussion is necessary.  Appellant's point of error is overruled.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">		The judgment is affirmed.</SPAN></P>
