OPINION ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
Manges has apparently abandoned all previous points of error, but now asserts a single new point on motion for rehearing. He now complains, for the first time, that the trial court erred in granting Astra Bar’s motion for summary judgment because the affidavit of H. David Christian, filed in support of the motion, fails to affirmatively state that Manges executed and delivered the note in question. A certified copy of the note signed by Manges was included in the summary judgment evidence. The execution of the note or the genuineness of Manges’ signature was not questioned by the pleadings or by the summary judgment evidence in opposition to the motion. This point was neither presented to the trial judge, nor was it assigned as a point of error to us on appeal. On the contrary, Manges’ own appellate brief states, in relevant part, as follows:
“The facts are uncontroverted. On September 20, 1977, the Appellant Clinton Manges, issued his Promissory Note to Appellee, Astra Bar, Inc., in the principal amount . . . ” (emphasis added.)
Appellant’s motion for rehearing, having been considered by the Court is overruled. See City of Houston v. Clear Creek Basin Authority, 589 S.W.2d 671 (Tex.Sup.1979).
