THOMAS, Chief Justice
(concurring).
I concur in the opinion only because it implies that had Sears contractually imposed upon itself the duty of good faith and fair dealing that the company could have been *179liable for punitive damages for a breach that contractually imposed duty. I continue to adhere to the view in my concurring and dissenting opinion in Federal Exp. Corp. v. Dutschmann, 838 S.W.2d 804, 818 (Tex.App.—Waco 1992, n.w.h.) (Thomas, C.J., concurring and dissenting), that exemplary damages cannot be awarded based on the breach of a contractually imposed duty.
