OPINION
YANEZ, Justice.
Rio Grande Valley Gas Co., Southern Union Gas Co., et. al 1 bring this interlocutory appeal from an order entered in the 92nd District Court certifying as a class all Texas municipalities (excluding Edinburg and McAllen) that have entered into franchise agreements with RGV or SUG providing for payment of franchise fees based on a percentage of the franchisee’s gross receipts. By three points of error, appellants contend the trial court abused its discretion in certifying the class. We affirm.
