ON REHEARING
Southeast Texas Savings and Loan Association asserts that the statutory and rules provisions governing hearings before the Savings and Loan Commissioner are defective as no adequate procedure for compelling the attendance of witnesses or securing testimony by means of deposition is provided for. There is no showing that the lack of witness attendance or discovery procedures, if any there be, operated to the prejudice of said protesting association. *361Apparently it developed all the facts and circumstances it deemed pertinent to the inquiry before the Commissioner. It is in no position to contend that they were prejudiced because of a lack of statutory or rule-making provisions empowering the Commissioner to compel the attendance of witnesses, secure deposition testimony or enforce discovery. The present record does not present a question of procedural due process and we decline to rule upon a purely hypothetical case.
The motions for rehearing are overruled.
