PER CURIAM:

In this voting rights case, we are asked to determine whether the district court erred when, in interpreting our previous order in this case, it concluded that elections for the Dallas County Commission should be held in 1990. Holding that the term for Dallas County Commissioners elected in 1988 is four years, rather than two, we reverse the district court.
