KILGARLIN, Justice.

We granted Shell Oil Company's application for writ of error to decide whether S & R Oil Company should be jointly and severally liable with Shell for damages arising out of a jury finding of negligence against both of them. We likewise granted S & R Oil Company's application to determine if a separate finding of damages under a deceptive trade practice theory constituted double recovery to the plaintiff, Nonie Angeline Chapman.
