SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing
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,

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.
