ASSOCIATE JUSTICE SMITH,
concurring.
*627I concur in the result reached by the majority only because, in my opinion, there is evidence of probative force other than the evidence which has been rendered ineffective by the Texas Trust Act, Article 7425b, which raises a genuine issue of fact as to whether a fiduciary relationship, a relation of trust and confidence, existed between Gaines and Hamman. The facts in this case meet the test contained in my dissent in Omohundro v. Matthews, 161 Texas 367, 341 S.W. 2d 401. Therefore, the case should have been determined by the trier of the facts and the trial court erred in granting Hamman’s motion for summary judgment.
Opinion delivered June 13, 1962.
