1. ““ . . . . the rule seems to be well established in this state that, where a party relies upon circumstantial evidence to establish his cause of action, or his defense, it is only necessary that said fact be established to the satisfaction of the jury by a preponderance of the evidence, whether same be circumstantial or otherwise.” (Citing Buro v. Home Benefit Ass’n. (Tex.Civ.App.) 28 S.W.2d 902, 905 (dismissed)). See also Duke et al. v. Houston Oil Co. of Texas et al, 128 S.W.2d 480 (dismissed).”
