Heading: continuing relationship doctrine

Text: The City's final argument on appeal is that this Court should adopt the doctrine of continuing relationship. Under that doctrine, the statute of limitations would not begin to run until the ongoing professional relationship between the plaintiff and the defendant had ended, even though the duties under the contract had been fulfilled and the work accepted. Under that doctrine, as long as WK & D and Cochrane continued to assist the City in repairing the roof that was constructed pursuant to the contract, the statute of limitations period would not begin to run. This state has not adopted that doctrine, and we decline to do so at this time. For the foregoing reasons, the judgments are due to be, and they hereby are, affirmed. ORIGINAL OPINION WITHDRAWN; OPINION SUBSTITUTED; ROBIN'S APLICATION GRANTED; CITY'S APPLCATION OVERRULED; AFFIRMED. MADDOX, JONES, SHORES and HOUSTON, JJ., concur.
