Appellant was convicted of capital murder in April 1999. Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 19.03(a). Pursuant to the jury's answers to the special issues set forth in Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 37.071 §§ 2(b) and 2(e), the trial court sentenced appellant to death. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 37.071 § 2(g). On original submission, the cause was remanded for a new punishment hearing due to error occurring during the punishment phase of the trial. Thompson v. State, ___ S.W.3d ___ (Tex. Crim. App. delivered October 24, 2001).

We granted appellant's first ground for rehearing in which he maintained we failed to fully consider his fourth point of error on original submission. Upon further consideration, we have concluded our decision to grant rehearing was improvident and we withdraw the order granting rehearing. The cause is remanded to the trial court for a new punishment hearing. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 44.29(c).
