OPINION
ROBERTSON, Justice.
Piercing the corporate veil lies at the heart of this case. We are called on to examine the effect of such a piercing, especially where a period of years has elapsed between (a) a final original judgment against the corporation, and (b) a later suit which seeks to disregard the corporate form and impose liability on an otherwise shielded party. We must decide how the statute of limitations operates, whether the discovery rule applies, and what the supreme court meant in footnote two of Gentry v. Credit Plan Corp. of Houston, 528 S.W.2d 571, 575 (Tex.1975).
