## Opinion text

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
The Caudle children urge that this Court is without jurisdiction to consider Dr. Bounds’ application for writ of error because he failed to file a Motion for Rehearing in connection with the final judgment of the court of civil appeals. See Oil Field Haulers Association v. Railroad Commission of Texas, 381 S.W.2d 183 (Tex.1964). They contend the court of civil appeals rendered a second, final judgment after rendering its original judgment. The argument is without merit, however, because the record shows that only one judgment was entered into the record and that Dr. Bounds timely filed a Motion for Rehearing.
Accordingly, the Caudles’ Motion for Rehearing is overruled. The Motion for Rehearing cited by Dr. Bounds is also overruled. No further Motions for Rehearing will be permitted to be filed in this cause.
