PER CURIAM

ATTESTED TO: ___________________________________ KEITH E. HOTTLE, Clerk of Court

1 Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 49.3 provides that a “motion for rehearing may be granted by a majority of the justices who participated in the decision of the case. Otherwise it must be denied.” TEX. R. APP. P. 49.3. Because Justices Angelini and Barnard are no longer members of this Court, a majority of the justices who participated in the decision of the case cannot grant the motion for rehearing. See id. Therefore, “it must be denied.” Id.
