MOTION FOR REHEARING
Appellant, has filed a Motion for Rehearing concerning this court’s disposition of its seventh point of error wherein it requested that the case be remanded to the trial court for a determination of attorney’s fees.
Although, Nationwide included a request for attorney’s fees in its Motion to Vacate Receivership and Dissolve Injunction and the Deed of Trust provides for attorney’s fees, appellant would not be entitled to such fees unless the Deed of Trust was actually admitted into evidence. Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing contains an extract from the Statement of Facts showing that the Deed of Trust was submitted to the trial court for its consideration. While appellant did tender the exhibit, a reading of the remainder of the discussion shows that he failed to have the trial court rule on whether the exhibit was admitted. Without the exhibits being admitted in evidence there is no basis for the award of attorney’s fees. The appellant’s Motion for Rehearing is denied.
