OPINION

JOHN HILL, Justice (Assigned).

In this slip and fah case, Melodie Duprie appeals from a judgment that she take nothing in her suit against Dolgericorp of Texas d/b/a Dollar General Stores. The trial court granted Dollar General’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict after a jury answered questions favorably to Duprie. The sole issue presented is whether the trial court erred in granting Dollar General’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.

We reverse and render judgment for Duprie because there was more than a scintilla of evidence supporting the jury’s verdict.
