EDELMAN, Justice,
concurring on rehearing.
I generally concur with the majority opinion that, based on the proceedings thus far, an abuse of discretion has not been shown. However, in connection with point of error one, I do not agree that the term “purchased ... in Texas” is unambiguous. Although that phrase is clear as to Texas residents *846who purchased policies from in-state agents, it is less clear to the extent that out-of-state insurance agents or policyholders were involved. Such a class would be better defined by an objective criteria which is apparent on the face of each policy such as a choice of law provision, notification address or other term that readily distinguishes the policyholders who are in the class from those who are not.
