FANNING, Justice
(concurring).
This appears to be a case of first impression in the State of Texas, and the questions involved here have not been passed upon by the Supreme Court of Texas. The only case in Texas approaching the facts in this case is Lollis et al. v. Humble Oil & Refining Company, Tex.Civ.App., 285 S.W.2d 249, wr. ref., n. r. e., yet the facts in that case are distinguishable from the facts in the case at bar. There is dictum in the Lollis case, supra, favorable to the position of appellee in this case. It also seems that the greater weight of out of state authority is supportive of appellee’s position in this case. While the opinion of Justice DAVIS in this case is not completely free from doubt in view of the fact that this is a summary judgment case, it is however my best judgment that the result reached in said opinion is correct.
