On Appeal from the 61st District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 02-19156
D I S S E N T I N G O P I N I O N O N R E H E A R I N G
Upon careful consideration, I conclude that the February 1998 contract unambiguously applies only to cases in which the clients were referred by Dardas or Ogletree or in which Dardas and Ogletree performed work. Therefore, the trial court correctly granted summary judgment as to all claims. I would grant rehearing and affirm the trial court=s judgment. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.
