Item 8.01.		Other Events.

On February 9, 2009, a filing agent, Bowne of Nashville, mistakenly submitted a Form 8-K and a Form 10-Q filing for Luminex Corporation (CIK: 0001033905) that were actually intended for First Acceptance Corporation (CIK: 1017907). The incorrect CIK was inserted into the documents submitted to the SEC by Bowne of Nashville which caused these filings to be erroneously listed as filings by Luminex Corporation. These filings were submitted in error and they should be disregarded. On February 10, 2009, Luminex Corporation submitted correspondence to the SEC, requesting that the Form 8-K and form 10-Q filed and accepted under the accession numbers 0000950144-09-000857 and 0000950144-09-000856, respectively, be deleted from the SEC archives as soon as possible. Luminex Corporation has also directed that any secondary information sources which gather information from the SEC also be contacted to delete references to the erroneous filings.
