J. CURTISS BROWN, Chief Justice,
concurring.
I concur. I agree with the court’s opinion and would only add my view that under Tex.Rev.Civ.Stat. art. 2320b § 3 [since codified at Tex.Civ.Prac. & Rem.Code § 64.091(h) ] the monies paid into the registry of the court are held “for the use and benefit of such non-resident or unknown owners of such mineral or leasehold interests.”
The ultimate question for trial on remand is the identity of those owners for whose benefit the funds were impounded.
