Opinion
The issue in this legal-malpractice case is whether the rule we announced in Hughes v. Mahaney & Higgins, 821 S.W.2d 154 (Tex.1991), tolled the statute of limitations on the plaintiffs’ claims. The court of appeals held that it did not, and affirmed a summary judgment for the defendant on limitations grounds. 10 S.W.3d 772.
In light of our recent decisions in Apex Towing Co. v. Tolin, 2001 WL 427374 (Tex.2001), and Underkofler v. Vanasek, 53 S.W.3d 343 (Tex.2001), without hearing oral argument, we grant the petition for review without reference to the merits, vacate the court of appeals’ judgment, and remand this case to that court to reconsider the limitations issue and for other proceedings. See Tex.R.App. P. 59.1, 60.2(f).
