                   DISSENTING OPINION FROM ORDER
                  DENYING EN BANC RECONSIDERATION

      I join Justice Spain’s opinion to the extent there could be a separate
designation for an order following a tie vote; as he states, “the motion failed for want
of a majority.” The court’s order accurately reflects each Justice’s vote; there is
simply no ambiguity or uncertainty about who is voting or how. Perhaps the Texas
Appellate Bar Section or the Texas Supreme Court Advisory Committee will take
this issue up in their next set of changes.

                                        /s/       Jerry Zimmerer
                                                  Justice
