OPINION ON REHEARING
In our December 5, 2007 abatement order on Appellant’s motion for rehearing, we abated this appeal and remanded the cause to the trial court for a new hearing [312]*312on Appellant’s motion to recuse the Honorable Gene Knize. Kniatt v. State, 239 S.W.3d 910 (Tex.App.-Waco 2007, order).
On January 2, 2008, Senior District Judge John Nelms, the judge assigned to conduct the hearing, heard Appellant’s motion and entered an order recusing Judge Knize. An order granting a motion to recuse is not reviewable. See Tex.R. Civ. P. 18a(f).
As a result of the recusal of Judge Knize, we vacate his June 19, 2003 order denying Appellant’s application for writ of habeas corpus on the voluntariness of Appellant’s guilty plea. Another judge must be assigned to hear the application. See Tex.R. Civ. P. 18a(f). We remand this cause for further proceedings.
Chief Justice GRAY dissenting.
