MAJORITY OPINION

ANDERSON, Justice.

This is an appeal of a premises liability suit arising from a slip, but no subsequent fall. The jury awarded Geneva Redding (“Redding”) $50,000 in damages against Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart”). The trial court reduced the damages to $24,093. In three points of error, Wal-Mart asserts that the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support both the jury’s finding on liability and damages, and that the jury charge contained an element of damages without evidentiary support. We reverse and remand.
