CORNYN, Justice,
concurring.
I agree with the court that a fact issue exists regarding whether G.W. knew with substantial certainty that his actions would result in the transmission of herpes to S.S., and that there is no evidence from which we can infer intent in this case. See Twyman v. Twyman, 855 S.W.2d 619 (1993) (discussing the substantial certainty standard in cases alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress). Thus, I join in parts I and II of the court’s opinion.
I disagree, however, with the court’s refusal to consider alternative grounds upon which the trial court’s summary judgment *383can be affirmed. Therefore, I join in part II of JUSTICE HECHT’S opinion.
