ON PETITIONS FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM:
In holding that Howell alleged a general constitutional challenge to the state’s disciplinary scheme, we incorrectly referred to the original complaint. We should have considered Howell’s amended complaint since it displaced his original complaint. The error is one of form not substance since the amended complaint asserts a similar general constitutional attack based on the first and fourteenth amendments. District of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, ___ U.S. ___, 103 S.Ct. 1303, 75 L.Ed.2d 206 (1983), establishes that the district judge has jurisdiction to decide this constitutional challenge to the Texas disciplinary procedure. The petitions for rehearing are DENIED.
