*680SONDOCK, Justice,
concurring.
I concur in the result because of the present wording of Tex.R.Civ.Pro. Rule 792. This case magnifies the need to streamline the unnecessary formalities of trespass to try title actions. Fictitious proceedings in the action of ejectment were abolished in this state in 1840. Tex.Rev.Civ.Stat.Ann. (Art. 7364). Trespass to try title has remained a sacred cow that should not be permitted to continue to feed on unnecessary technicalities.
