JOHNSON, Justice,
concurring.
This writing concurs in the result obtained in the opinion of the court. In so doing, this writer would emphasize that the issue of substantial compliance has been expressly reserved for future consideration in the opinion.
The opinion of the court of civil appeals has three basic holdings with regard to the federal law: (1) General Electric Credit Corporation violated the federal law; (2) the “availability” of the defense of substantial compliance is not settled; and (3) General Electric Credit Corporation did not substantially comply with the federal law in any event.
The opinion of this court, however, holds that General Electric Credit Corporation did not violate federal law; therefore, the availability of the defense of substantial compliance is not reached. The opinion should not be construed as commenting on the availability of the defense of substantial compliance.
SPEARS, J., joins in this concurring opinion.
