CHARLES W. SEYMORE, Justice,
concurring.
Our Supreme Court does not foster appellate disposition based on procedural defects when parties have not been afforded opportunity to amend under Rule 44.3, Tex.R.App. P. The majority has disposed of this case by identifying a procedural defect which was not raised or briefed by the parties. I respectfully submit that an opinion without citations to authority supporting the essential reason for disposition is of no moment.
As an insuror and subrogee, St. Paul is asserting uncontested contractual or equitable subrogation rights. St. Paul is entitled to disposition of the issues presented in its appellate brief. Accordingly, I concur in the result only because I would affirm if this case were considered on the merits.
