KEITH, Justice,
concurring.
While I have grave doubts as to the sufficiency of the allegations in plaintiff’s petition to support the default judgment under the rationale of Stoner v. Thompson, 578 S.W.2d 679 (Tex.1979), as well as the sufficiency of the admissible probative evidence to support the award of unliquidated damages which were trebled (given at a hearing mandated by Tex.R.Civ.P. 243), 1 am unable to reach such questions even under the liberal briefing rules mandated by Fambrough v. Wagley, 140 Tex. 577, 169 S.W.2d 478, 482 (1943), and its progeny. Consequently, I concur in the affirmation of the judgment.
