FARRIS, Justice,
concurring.
I disagree with the majority holding that Mixon did not suffer a general injury, but I concur in the result. As the majority notes, it is undisputed that Mixon suffered a dislocated shoulder when he was injured on the job. The jury finding that his incapacity was limited to the use of his left arm does not change the nature of Mixon’s injuries; he suffered concurrent general and specific injuries.
I concur because Mixon’s complaints on appeal present no error for our consideration. The Texas Supreme Court has described how jury questions addressing these issues should be submitted. See Rivera v. Texas Employers’ Ins. Ass’n, 701 S.W.2d 837, 838-39 (Tex.1986).
Because Mixon neither tendered a proper submission of these questions nor objected to question three as an inferential question, he has not preserved error and the judgment of the trial court should be affirmed.
