Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 5, Dallas County, Looney E. Lindsey, J.

OPINION
The offense is robbery by assault; the punishment, 10 years.
The sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the conviction is not challenged.
Appellant's first ground of error relates to an alleged unresponsive answer given by a State's witness during cross-examination. Immediately after the alleged unresponsive answer was given, appellant's counsel requested that the court instruct the jury to disregard the answer, which the court promptly did. No further action was requested by appellant, and no error is therefore before this Court. Hughes v. State, 433 S.W.2d 698 (delivered October 23, 1968), and Burks v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 432 S.W.2d 925 (delivered October 30, 1968).
As his second ground of error, appellant contends that the prosecuting attorney committed error in questioning appellant about a prior conviction during cross-examination. No objection to such questioning was made, and therefore no error is presented. Ellis v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 379 S.W.2d 342.
Finding no reversible error, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
