DODSON, Justice,
concurring.
I concur with the results reached by the majority opinion authored by Justice Boyd. In my view, the circumstances presented are insufficient to bring this case within the purview of the “effect doctrine” enunciated in Calder v. Jones, 465 U.S. 783, 104 S.Ct. 1482, 79 L.Ed.2d 804 (1984). In essence, I am not persuaded that where there is merely a claim that an intentional tort committed in California that injured a Texas resident is sufficient to invoke the “effect doctrine.” Thus, I respectfully concur.
