PHILLIPS, Chief
Justice, concurring.
I concur in the judgment of the Court, but I am not willing to join in that portion of the opinion which suggests that our interpretation of Tex.R.App.P. 90(e) is premised, in part, on a desire to avoid a potential constitutional defect. I believe that our interpretation of Rule 90(e) is cor*98rect. Accordingly, there is no need to reach, and I express no opinion regarding, relator’s argument that the Court of Appeals’ decision infringes upon her constitutional rights. See Ashwander v. Tennessee Valley Authority, 297 U.S. 288, 341, 56 S.Ct. 466, 480, 80 L.Ed. 688 (1936) (Brandeis, J., concurring); San Antonio General Drivers, Helpers Local No. 657 v. Thornton, 156 Tex. 641, 647, 299 S.W.2d 911, 915 (1957).
COOK, HECHT and CORNYN, JJ., join in this concurring opinion.
