Co., 54 S.W.Bd 401, 409 n. 2 (Tex.App.-Waco 2001, pet. denied) (“Because [appellee] does not seek to alter the judgment, we conclude that it may properly assert independent grounds for affir-mance of the judgment even though it did not file its own notice of appeal. This seems particularly apt in a summary judgment case in which the movant is the appellee because the Supreme Court has expressly held that an ‘appellate court may consider other grounds that the movant preserved for review and [the] trial court did not rule on in the interest of judicial economy.’ ”); see also Hensley v.
