Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas CONCURRING OPINION No. 04-19-00881-CV IN RE Hannah RYERSON Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 Opinion by: Beth Watkins, Justice Concurring opinion by: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Beth Watkins, Justice Delivered and Filed: March 4, 2020 Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus asked this court to direct the trial court “to vacate its December 4, 2019 order dismissing [relator’s] contribution counterclaim.” I concur in the majority’s denial of relator’s petition. However, I write separately to clarify that our denial of relator’s petition should not be interpreted as conflicting with the trial court’s order that relator’s “allegations of contributory negligence and contribution credits remain.”

Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
