OPINION ON APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING
In its motion for rehearing, appellant contends we were in error in following Computer Business Services, Inc. v. West, 627 S.W.2d 759 (Tex.App. — Tyler 1982, writ ref’d n.r.e.) in disposing of its claim for attorney’s fees. Rather, it contends, we should follow Schott v. Leissner, 659 S.W.2d 752 (Tex.App. — Corpus Christi 1983, ref’d n.r.e.). We do not agree. This cause of action arose on December 4, 1978; therefore we apply the provisions of Section 17.50(c) of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act in existence at that time as interpreted in Computer Business Services, Inc. rather than the provisions of that Section as amended in 1979 and interpreted in Schott.
The Motion for Rehearing is overruled.
