TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, Petitioner, v. Stephen Vincent DAVIS, Respondent.
    No. 99-0085.
    Supreme Court of Texas.
    Dec. 9, 1999.
    Kevin Michael Givens, John Cornyn, Andy Taylor, Linda Eads, Gregory S. Coleman, S. Kyle Duncan, Austin, for Petitioner.
    George A. Scharmen, II, San Antonio, for Respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

Steven Vincent Davis’ driver’s license was administratively suspended based upon evidence that his alcohol concentration was 0.138 and 0.144 about an hour and a half after his arrest for drunk driving. The county court at law reversed the administrative decision, and the court of appeals affirmed in a memorandum decision. See Tex.R.App. P. 47.1. The court of appeals affirmed based upon its original decision in Míreles v. Texas Department of Public Safety, which was then pending on rehearing. After the decision in this case became final, the court of appeals withdrew its decision in Múreles and reversed its prior decision. See Mireles v. Texas Dep’t of Pub. Safety, 993 S.W.2d 426 (Tex.App.—San Antonio 1999), aff'd, 9 S.W.3d 128 (Tex.1999). Today, we affirm the Mireles opinion on rehearing. Accordingly, without hearing oral argument, under Rule 59.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we grant the Department of Public Safety’s petition for review and remand to the court of appeals for reconsideration in light of Míreles.
