Court of Appeals of Texas, Houston (1st Dist.).

July 22, 1993.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carnegie H. Mims, Jr., Houston, for appellants.

Everett S. Stovall, Lake Jackson, for appellees.

Before OLIVER-PARROTT, C.J., and O'CONNOR and WILSON, JJ.

OLIVER-PARROTT, Chief Justice.

We reverse and remand.
