Opinion

Per Curiam :

This is a motion to file petition for mandamus filed in this Court by Pure Oil Company against the Honorable Justices of the Court of Civil Appeals at Texarkana and certain other parties. By its petition, which accompanies the motion to file, the Pure Oil Company contends that the opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals in cause No. 5154, J. T. Thompson et al., Appellants, v. Pure Oil Company et al., Appellees, 113 S. W. (2d) 662, is in conflict with the holding of the Supreme Court in Shell Petroleum Corporation v. Grays et al., 122 Texas 491, 62 S. W. (2d) 113. The appeal to the Court of Civil Appeals grew out of an interlocutory order of the district court of Smith County sustaining a plea of privilege filed by Pure Oil Company in cause No. 5371-A in that court. As shown by the opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals in that case that court did not finally dispose of the plea of privilege, but remanded the cause for a new trial. When the plea of privilege is again tried in the district court, an entirely different record may be presented.

The motion to file petition for mandamus is overruled, without prejudice to the right of the Pure Oil Company, or any other interested party, to again present the matter of conflict to this Court in a proper way, if such conflict should appear on another appeal. Of course, we do not intend to here express any opinion on the alleged issue of conflict.
