OPINION
The trial court here found both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. 807 S.W.2d 391. These separate findings are each supported by evidence. Consistent with this court’s recent holding in Twyman v. Twyman, 855 S.W.2d 619 (Tex.1993), that in a divorce proceeding a spouse may recover for intentional (but not negligent) infliction of emotional distress, we deny the application for writ of error. We disapprove the language and holding by the court of appeals that negligent infliction of emotional distress was a viable theory for recovery.
Dissenting opinion by Justice HECHT joined by Justice ENOCH.
