<br />This evidence when considered in the
<br />context of the entire record, is not enough
<br />to authorize this Court to set aside the im-
<br />plied findings in support of the judgment
<br />sustaining appellee's plea of privilege. Ap-
<br />pellant's points are overruled.
<br />
<br />The judgment of the trial court is af-
<br />firmed.
