The opinion
STOVER, Justice,
concurring.
Appellant’s efforts in attacking the rule of absolute immunity for expert witnesses are acknowledged with respect. However to sustain his argument, we would have to reverse a complete body of Texas law. “Communications in the course of a judicial proceeding will not serve as the basis of a civil action for libel or slander, regardless of the negligence or malice with which they are made.” Blackwell v. Davis, 874 S.W.2d 950, 951 (Tex.App.—Beaumont 1994, no writ)(citing Reagan v. Guardian Life Ins. Co., 140 Tex. 105 , 166 S.W.2d 909 (1942)). Therefore, I concur with the majority’s decision.
