OPINION
ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
Appellee McClung’s motion for rehearing is granted. The recent amendments to Tex.R.Civ.P. 434 permit us to order a partial new trial when the issues are clearly severable and the new trial can be conducted without unfairness to the parties. Because the reversible error did not affect the trial court’s verdict in favor of McClung, and the issues as to him are separable, we hereby modify our previous opinion and judgment. The portion of the trial court’s judgment in favor of McClung is severed and affirmed. The portion of the trial court’s judgment that Bass take nothing is reversed and remanded for a new trial for the reasons previously stated in our opinion.
