On Railroad Commission’s Motion for Rehearing.
In a motion for rehearing the Attorney General on behalf of the Railroad Commission urgently insists that our holding *197that a bona fide title dispute was presented to the Commission, and that it should have withheld such permit until that issue were settled, is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, our holding's in Nash v. Shell Pet. Corp., Tex.Civ.App., 120 S.W.2d 522; and Shell Pet. Corp. v. Railroad Commission, Tex.Civ.App., 120 S.W.2d 526.
The facts in the cases cited and in the instant case are so nearly similar that confusion might readily result from the discussion of that issue in the instant case. We made it clear, however, in our original opinion, that our decision was not grounded upon the title dispute asserted. And in order that there may be no confusion arising from the matters complained of by the Attorney General, that portion of our opinion wherein the title dispute issue was discussed is withdrawn and may be wholly disregarded; and our reversal based entirely upon the other grounds stated.
To this extent the motion is granted. In all other respects it is overruled.
Granted in part and in part overruled.
