DOGGETT, Justice,
concurring.
Unfortunately today’s decision — limited to a single legal question, based on facts stipulated by the parties, and unanimous in result — is not timely, issued more than thirteen months after oral argument was heard in 1991. Every case deserves our prompt and careful attention whether the party seeking review in this court is a homeowner like Dutch Hines, a rape victim like Andrea Delaney,1 or a business, large or small.2
For the reasons I have previously expressed, I concur in the judgment but not the manner in which it has been disposed. See Delaney v. University of Houston, 835 S.W.2d 56, 61 (Tex.1992) (Doggett, J., concurring); Greathouse v. Charter National Bank Southwest, 35 Tex.Sup.Ct.J. 1017, 1020 (July 1, 1992, motion for rehearing pending) (Doggett, J., concurring); Schick v. Wm. H. McGee & Co., 843 S.W.2d 473 (Tex.1992) (Doggett, J., concurring opinion on order granting motion to dismiss). That some of my colleagues consider “our disposition of this matter” to have been timely accomplished, 843 S.W.2d at 473 (per cu-riam concurring opinion), only indicates that Texans can expect more delays from a justice system that is not functioning in a proper manner.
MAUZY, J., joins in this concurring opinion.
