C O N C U R R I N G   O P I N I O N
 
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.
