OPINION

YÁÑEZ, Justice.

This action rose from a traffic accident caused by Donald Horton, who drove through a stop sign and into the path of the motorcycle that Hollis Hart and Joan Gann were riding. Hart and Gann’s pleadings alleged Horton’s negligence and invoked the doctrine of respondeat superior to attribute that negligence to Horton’s employer, Gilgon, Inc. After a trial on the merits, the jury found that Horton was negligent and that he was acting within the scope of his employment at the time of the accident. Raising three points of error, Gilgon appeals. We affirm.
