Karen Smith BIRD, Appellant, v. FIRST DEPOSIT NATIONAL BANK, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, El Paso.

Rehearing Overruled June 23, 1999.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John C. Schwambach, Jr., Houston, for appellant.

James Brendan Carroll, Dallas, for appellee.

Before Panel No. 4 BARAJAS, C.J., LARSEN, and McCLURE, JJ.
