and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (Rampart Capital 
Corporation, Common Stock, $.01 par value) File No. 1-15277

October 24, 2003.
    Rampart Capital Corporation, a Texas corporation (``Issuer''), has 
filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw 
its Common Stock, $.01 par value (``Security''), from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or 
``Exchange'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
the State of Texas, in which it is incorporated, and with the Amex's 
rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from 
listing and registration.
    The Issuer states that it is taking such action for the following 
reasons: the Issuer intends to amend its articles of incorporation to 
effect a 1-for-100,000 reverse stock split of its Security and cash-out 
fractional shares at $3.50 per pre-split share. A meeting of the 
Issuer's shareholders will be held on November 5, 2003 to vote on the 
amendment to its articles of incorporation. Shareholders holding 
sufficient shares to approve the amendment have already indicated that 
they intend to vote in favor of the amendment. When approved, the 
amendment will be filed with the Secretary of State of Texas and be 
effective at 12:01 a.m. on November 6, 2003. As a result of the reverse 
split and subsequent cashing-out of fractional shares, the Issuer will 
only have two record and beneficial shareholders, who are directors and 
officers of the Issuer.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Securities from listing on the Amex and from registration under section 
12(b) of the Act \3\ shall not affect its obligation to be registered 
under section 12(g) of the Act.\4\

by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 
450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\5\
