ROBERTSON, Justice.
Plaintiff Robert E. McKee, Inc. brought this action for fraud after the roof of a building constructed and sold to it by defendant J. L. Williams & Co., Inc. collapsed. Plaintiff sought recovery under the theory that defendant misrepresented a material fact, that the building had been built in accordance with certain plans and specifications, in connection with the sale of the building. After the jury returned answers to special issues the trial court entered judgment for plaintiff. We reverse and render because plaintiff failed to prove the requisite element of scienter.
