The opinion

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

STEAKLEY, Justice.

Petitioner has filed a Motion for Rehearing in which she offers to remit any claim for rent in excess of $1,050.00. Our remand of the case was for the purpose of determining if Petitioner is entitled to rent in excess of such sum. Accordingly, Petitioner’s Motion for Rehearing is granted and our judgment heretofore rendered is set aside with the following substituted therefor:

The judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals is reversed. The judgment of the trial court is modified so as to render judgment for Petitioner for rent in the sum of $1,050.00, and, as so modified, is affirmed.

Respondent’s Motion for Rehearing is overruled.
