## Opinion text

SAM D. JOHNSON, Justice
(dissenting).
This dissent is respectfully submitted.
The sole question presented is whether an artisan, claiming a lien on an automobile in his possession under Texas Revised Civil Statutes, Articles 5503 and 5506, is entitled to priority over a prior secured party who has perfected his security interest on the vehicle’s certificate of title. This writer would answer such question in the negative.
