OPINION

TERRY JENNINGS, Justice.

In this breach of contract action, appellant, Standard Constructors, Inc. (Standard), challenges a judgment entered after a jury verdict in favor of appellee, Chevron Chemical Company, Inc. (Chevron). In three issues, Standard contends that the trial court erred in (1) ruling, as a matter of law, that the contract unambiguously barred Standard’s claim for “equipment overtime charges,” (2) excluding relevant evidence, and (3) awarding Chevron interest and attorneys’ fees. We affirm.
