We report the detection of an optical transient in M31 using ROTSE-IIIb at the McDonald observatory, Texas. The transient is located at 00h42m28.17s +41o09'55".5. We note this is about 5" from the Chandra X-ray point source CXOM31 J004228.1+410959 (Kong et al. 2002, ApJ 577,738). Unfiltered images taken on Dec. 26.06 UT show it was 16.4 mag; on Dec. 28.07 it was 16.2 mag and on Dec. 31.08 it was 16.9 mag.
