The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““A trial court can set aside a jury verdict and render judgment contrary thereto only where there is ‘no evidence’ to support the finding of the jury. Otherwise, under the provisions of Rule 301, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, the court must render judgment in keeping with the verdict of the jury. “If there is any evidence of probative force, from which reasonable minds might come to the conclusion that the jury came to, then there is ‘some evidence’ to support the finding of the jury, and it is the duty of the court to enter judgment in keeping with such finding. The fact that there may be evidence to the contrary is immaterial. * * * “In determining the question of ‘some evidence’ we must look only to the evidence and not to the jury’s finding on other issues. * * * ””
