STEPHENS, Justice,
dissenting.
I cannot agree with the majority’s opinion. The-facts as recited by the author are sufficient to uphold the jury’s finding that McKnight’s voluntary withdrawal should be excused.
As stated in the majority opinion, when a no evidence point is at issue, we must only consider the evidence and inferences which tends to support the jury’s findings and disregard all evidence to the contrary. Alm v. Aluminum Co. of America, 717 S.W.2d 588, 593 (Tex.1986). The majority has quoted McKnight’s testimony that Staples indicated that he would testify untruthfully in an upcoming deposition. McKnight further testified that she attempted to dissuade the untruthful testimony. I cannot agree that, in view of this evidence, there was no evidence to justify the jury’s finding. Accordingly, I would affirm the judgment of the trial court.
