DISSENTING OPINION ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
MURPHY, Justice.
In response to appellee’s motion for rehearing, I dissent from the majority opinion for its failure to follow this court’s decision in Allen v. Allen, 751 S.W.2d 567 (Tex.App.—Houston [14th Dist.], 1988, writ filed). In Allen this court cited from our earlier decision in City of Houston v. Wolf, 712 S.W.2d 228 (Tex.App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1986, writ ref’d) wherein we reaffirmed the rule found in Cavnar v. Quality Control Parking, Inc., 696 S.W.2d 549 (Tex.1985), by stating “as a matter of law, in all types of cases, awards of prejudgment interest shall be compounded on a daily basis.” Id. at 229. I believe that the inconsistent effect of the majority’s opinion in employing art. 5069-1.03 to calculate prejudgment interest and yet failing to compound it daily per this court’s holding in Allen and Wolf'vs improvident.
