POWERS, Justice,
dissenting.
Adhering to the conclusions and reasons given in my dissent in Commerce Independent School District v. Texas Education Agency, 859 S.W.2d 627, 629 (Tex.App.—Austin 1993, writ dism’d), I respectfully dissent. I would set aside the submission on appeal and order that the clerk of the district court transmit the agency record to this Court for appellate review on resubmission without oral argument. See Tex.R.App.P. 51(d) (appellate court on its own initiative may direct clerk of the trial court to send to appellate court any original paper for inspection); Tex.R.App.P. 55(c) (appellate court may set aside submission and make such orders as may be necessary to secure a more satisfactory submission of the case). With the agency record before us, we would be better able to determine the applicability of any alternate legal ground for affirming the Commissioner’s order.
