ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

VANCE, Justice.

The appellant’s motion for rehearing is granted. Our former opinion is withdrawn and the following is now our opinion.

First National Bank of Commerce, Texas appeals from a judgment holding it liable for breach of contract, negligence, and conversion. Because we hold that the jury could have properly found the bank to be negligent, we affirm the trial court’s judgment. However, we must remand the case for a determination of the amount of attorney’s fees which can be recovered.
