1Opinion of the Court

STEPHENS, Justice.

Defendant/appellant, Charter Builders, appeals a judgment denying indemnity or contribution from third-party defendant, Commercial Drywall. Charter Builders contends that (1) the court erred in denying contribution; (2) the evidence was legally or factually insufficient to support the jury finding that the plaintiff, Durham, was an employee of Commercial Drywall; (3) the definition of “employee” in the jury charge was improper; and (4) Commercial Drywall contractually agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Charter Builders. We disagree and affirm.
