SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION ON REHEARING
DOGGETT, Justice.
The injustice addressed in my earlier concurring opinion has only been compounded. The decision in this case, not announced for sixteen months after oral argument, has now been deferred an additional four and a half months. The delay in issuing opinions in this court continues uncorrected. See Schick v. Wm. H. McGee & Co., 843 S.W.2d 473, 475 (Tex.1992) (Doggett, J., concurring opinion on order granting motion to dismiss) (“When this court delays nearly two years in deciding a case ..., no one wins and everybody loses.”); Hines v. Hash, 843 S.W.2d 464, 470 (Tex.1992) (Doggett, J., concurring) (prevailing attitude here “indicates that Texans can expect more delays from a justice system that is not functioning in a proper manner.”).
MAUZY, J., joins in this supplemental opinion on rehearing.
