NO. 01-10-00106-CV

Certified EMS, Inc. d/b/a CPnS Staffing, Appellant

V.

Cherie Potts, Appellee

On Appeal from the 270th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Case No. 2009-42236

CONCURRING OPINION ON REHEARING

          I join the majority opinion.  I write separately to respond to Certified EMS’s arguments on rehearing that this Court’s opinion in the instant case conflicts with our opinion in University of Texas Medical Branch v. Railsback, 259 S.W.3d 860, 864 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2008, no pet.).  As the majority notes, the arguments presented in this case were not presented in Railsback.  However, to the extent Railsback contains language conflicting with today’s holding, I would disavow such language.
