““No findings of fact or conclusions of law were filed by the trial court and none were requested, so if the judgment can be affirmed upon any theory presented by the record, it is our duty to do so. Texas Creosoting Co. v. Hartburg Lbr. Co., Tex.Com.App., 12 S.W.2d 169 ; Johnson v. Campbell, Tex.Civ.App., 107 S.W.2d 1111 ; Mosley v. Gulf Production Co., Tex.Civ.App., 111 S.W.2d 726 .””
