OSBORN, Chief Justice,
concurring.
I concur fully with results of the majority opinion. For the reasons set forth in Montes v. Texas Employers’ Insurance Association, 779 S.W.2d 485, 487 (Tex.App.—El Paso 1989, writ denied), I do not believe there is a two-step procedure as set forth in Sterner v. Marathon Oil Company, 767 S.W.2d 686 (Tex.1989) and Holley v. Watts, 629 S.W.2d 694 (Tex.1982) to determine if an issue on which a jury made a “negative” finding was established as a matter of law. I do recognize that in deciding whether the issue was established as a matter of law the Court must review all the evidence and see if there is some valid evidence contrary to the position of the party urging that the issue was established as a matter of law.
