DISSENTING OPINION
MORRISON, Judge.
Under Rule 166-A, T.R.C.P., and the holding of the Supreme Court of this State in Richards v. Allen, 402 S.W.2d 158, the sworn motion in opposition to the motion for summary judgment was before the Court for his consideration. The fact that the principal appeared prior to the entry of final judgment and was released on a new bond for the same offense in a sum far less than the original bond, would clearly show an abuse of discretion in the Court’s failure to grant a remittitur and in granting judgment for the full amount of the original bond.
I respectfully dissent.
