OPINION
DALLY, Commissioner.The appellant was charged with the offense of assault with intent to murder, but was convicted of the lesser included offense of aggravated assault; the punishment assessed, confinement in the county jail for eighteen months.
The appellant’s first ground of error is that:
“The trial court erred in permitting the defendant to be interrogated about his prior void convictions for impeachment purposes.”
At the guilt-innocence phase of the trial after the appellant had testified in his own defense and prior to his cross-examination the State requested and was granted a recess. Out of the presence of the jury the State’s counsel discussed with the Court and defense counsel his desire to interrogate the appellant concerning prior convictions to discredit and impeach him. The discussion concerned a prior conviction for the possession of marihuana, a felony, and carrying a pistol, a misdemeanor. It was not established whether the felony conviction for which a probated sentence had been granted was admissible. The appellant was not interrogated about this conviction. The discussion concerning the conviction for carrying a pistol terminated in the Court telling the State’s attorney before he interrogated the appellant concerning such conviction he should go to the Clerk’s office and ascertain whether the appellant had been convicted for carrying a pistol.
When the trial resumed the State’s counsel cross-examined the appellant about the facts of the instant case and then asked:
“Q. Isn’t it true you have a prior conviction for carrying a gun ?
“A. Yes, sir.
“Q. So carrying a gun—
“MR. GARZA [DEFENSE COUNSEL] : Your Honor, I don’t think he can argue about it from there.
“THE COURT: This is the gun in question?
“MR. HENRICHS [STATE’S COUNSEL] : Yes, sir, we are talking now about the gun in question.”
The appellant, now represented by newly retained counsel, alleged in his motion for new trial and at the hearing on the motion testified that the pistol-carrying conviction was obtained when he was uncounseled, indigent, had no knowledge of his right to counsel and had not waived counsel. The docket sheet and judgment of conviction for carrying a pistol, introduced at the hearing, are silent as to whether the appellant was represented by counsel. The judgment shows that the punishment assessed was a fine of $100. The punishment did not include imprisonment.
It is argued that this conviction is void and that Loper v. Beto, 405 U.S. 473, 92 S.Ct. 1014, 31 L.Ed.2d 374 (1972) and Ex parte Olvera, 489 S.W.2d 586 (Tex.Cr.App.1973) require a reversal of this judgment. In Ex parte Olvera, supra, a conviction was set aside where prior convictions void because obtained in violation of the United States Constitution’s Sixth Amendment right to counsel were admitted in evidence at the punishment stage of the trial under the provisions of Article 37.07, Section 3(a), Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P. to show the defendant’s prior criminal record. The Supreme Court of the United States in Lo-per v. Betd, supra, held that a conviction void because obtained in violation of the United States Constitution’s Sixth Amendment right to counsel, if used to discredit and impeach a defendant when he testified in subsequent prosecutions, would invali*772date the conviction where their use might well have influenced the outcome of the case.
In Argersinger v. Hamlin, 407 U.S. 25, 92 S.Ct. 2006, 32 L.Ed.2d 530 (1972), the Supreme Court of the United States held:
“. . . that absent a knowing and intelligent waiver no person may be imprisoned for any offense, whether classified as petty, misdemeanor, or felony, unless he was represented by counsel at his trial.”
and further stated:
“Under the rule we announce today, every judge will know when the trial of a misdemeanor starts that no imprisonment may be imposed, even though local law permits it, unless the accused is represented by counsel. He will have a measure of seriousness and gravity of the offense and therefore know when to name a lawyer to represent the accused before the trial starts.”
Although the conviction in question was obtained on July 23, 1963, before the Supreme Court had decided Argersinger v. Hamlin, supra, the holding of that case has been applied retroactively. See Walker v. State, 486 S.W.2d 330 (Tex.Cr.App.1972); Ramirez v. State, 486 S.W.2d 373 (Tex.Cr.App.1972) ; Curry v. State, 488 S.W.2d 100 (Tex.Cr.App.1972); Ex parte Olvera, supra; Ex parte Webster, 497 S.W.2d 305 (Tex.Cr.App.1973).
Even though Article 483, Vernon’s Ann. P.C., proscribing the carrying of a pistol, the statute under which the 1963 conviction was had, provides a penalty including imprisonment, no such penalty was actually imposed.
We hold that prior final convictions which are otherwise admissible may be used for the purpose of impeachment or enhancement of punishment even though obtained while the defendant was not represented by counsel and had not waived .counsel, so long as the punishment assessed in the prior convictions did not include imprisonment.1
This rule is within the requirements of Argersinger v. Hamlin, supra, and is not inconsistent with the prior decisions of this Court. In Walker v. State, supra, and Ex parte Webster, supra, the prior convictions which were held to be void were for the misdemeanor offense of driving an automobile on a public highway while intoxicated. The minimum punishment for that offense includes mandatory imprisonment.2 In Ramirez v. State, supra, the prior conviction held void was for the misdemeanor offense of child desertion. The only punishment provided for that offense was mandatory imprisonment.3 In Ex parte Olvera, supra, the record shows that in eight of the ten prior convictions admitted at the penalty stage of the trial under the provisions of Article 37.07, V.A.C.C.P., a punishment including imprisonment had been assessed.
Moreover, in this case the record shows there was no objection made when the appellant was interrogated concerning the “prior conviction for carrying a gun,” that it was obtained while the appellant was indigent, unrepresented by counsel and counsel had not been waived.4 The appellant and his retained trial counsel had full knowledge that the State intended to question the appellant about his prior pistol-carrying conviction and had an opportunity to object prior to or at the time the ques*773tion was put to the appellant. The appellant’s failure to object on the grounds he now urges constitutes a waiver of the claimed right. See Boss v. State, 489 S.W.2d 580 (Tex.Cr.App.1972); Jenkins v. State, 488 S.W.2d 130 (Tex.Cr.App.1972); Vera v. State, 473 S.W.2d 22 (Tex.Cr.App.1971).
The appellant’s second ground of error is that:
“The trial court erred in allowing a noncharacter witness to be interrogated about her knowledge of the defendant’s prior convictions.”
The appellant had elected to have the Court assess punishment. During the punishment phase of the trial the appellant’s wife testified and on direct examination said that the appellant was a good husband and supported their children, and that she was aware of his prior convictions. On cross-examination she was asked and admitted without any objection being made that she had heard the appellant was convicted for the possession of marihuana in 1959, for a “violation of the weapon’s ordinance in 1963,” and for selling dangerous drugs in 1963.
Although the wife may not have been asked the usual questions directed to a character witness such testimony as her testimony concerning the appellant’s good behavior as a husband has been held to be sufficient to make it permissible to ask the “have you heard” type of questions to test her knowledge of his reputation. See Childs v. State, 491 S.W.2d 907 (Tex.Cr.App.1973) ; Salazar v. State, 494 S.W.2d 548 (Tex.Cr.App.1973); and Navajar v. State, 496 S.W.2d 61 (Tex.Cr.App.1973).
Furthermore, at the punishment phase of the trial under the provisions of Article 37.07, Section 3(a), V.A.C.C.P. the State could offer evidence of the prior criminal record of the appellant. The prior criminal record means a final conviction in a Court of record or a probated sentence that has occurred prior to the trial or any final conviction material to the offense charged. Although the method of interrogating the appellant’s wife may not have been a proper way in which to prove a record of the prior convictions, no objection was made; therefore, nothing is presented for review.
The appellant’s last contention that the trial court erred in commenting on the appellant and his counsel in the presence of the jury is overruled, since the record does not show that the complained of comment was made in the presence of the jury and does not reflect that any objection was made. See Cedillo v. State, 484 S.W.2d 920 (Tex.Cr.App.1972).
The judgment is affirmed.
Opinion approved by the Court.
. The decision of the United States Court of Appeals in Olvera v. Beto, 429 F.2d 131 (5th Cir. 1970) which seems to hold that counsel must be appointed where the punishment may include imprisonment was delivered before the Supreme Court’s opinion in Argersinger v. Hamlin, supra.
. Article 802, Y.A.P.C.
. Article 602, V.A.P.C. as amended, 1959.
. If an objection had been made that the conviction for carrying a pistol was not admissible for the purpose of impeachment because it did not involve moral turpitude it should have been sustained.
