IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-06-00235-CV

In re Carl Long

and

No. 10-06-00239-CV

In re carl long

Original Proceeding

          The record properly before us in both proceedings supports only one result.  Both petitions should be denied.  Most of the majority opinion is necessary to explain why they want to grant the petitions rather than an analysis to support their ruling on the petitions.  I note, as I have noted before, that the real party in interest in both petitions has never been made a party to these proceedings.  I dissent.
