## Opinion text

GRIFFIN, Justice
(concurring in part and dissenting in part).
I agree with the holding that the trial court should have sustained plaintiff’s special exception, but that it was harmless error under the facts of this record.
I disagree with Judge HAMILTON’S holding that certain documentary evidence was inadmissible.
