RALEIGH BROWN, Justice,
dissenting.
I dissent. The jury’s finding of fraud established an affirmative defense to the suit brought by Livingston. The trial court erred in disregarding such findings. I would reverse the trial court’s judgment and render judgment that Livingston take nothing on the note. See Roberts v. Tipton, 562 S.W.2d 921 (Tex.Civ.App.—Waco 1978, writ ref’d n. r. e.); Costello v. Sample, 470 *942S.W.2d 446 (Tex.Civ.App.—Waco 1971, writ ref’d n. r. e.); Dreeben v. Sidor, 254 S.W.2d 908 (Tex.Civ.App.—Amarillo 1952, writ ref’d n. r. e.); Southern Rock Island Plow Co. v. Williams, 80 S.W.2d 340 (Tex.Civ.App.—Amarillo 1934, writ dism’d); 26 Tex. Jur.2d, Fraud and Deceit § 83.
