MAUZY, Justice,
concurring.
Although I concur whole-heartedly in the opinion of the court, I am compelled to voice my outrage at the recent action of our State Board of Insurance. With its opinion today, the court has rid Texas common-law of an archaic doctrine. Yet, the State Board of Insurance has now incorporated this same senseless doctrine into contract law. It recently prescribed a standard auto policy endorsement that expressly excludes liability coverage for intrafamily suits. 12 TEX.REG. 1126 (1987) (Form 675 adopted as part of amendments to Rules and Rates Governing the Insuring of Automobiles and Standard Endorsements). The Board’s action cannot have any rational justification; and it does not in any way serve the interests of the people of Texas.
