OPINION

BIERY, Justice.

This is an appeal from a jury verdict and judgment thereon in a suit to recover royalty on a take-or-pay settlement and damages for breach of an asserted duty of good faith and fair dealing. We reverse and render judgment that the appellees take nothing on their claims.

In 1974, the trustees of the Bruni Mineral Trust1 (Bruni) entered into an oil and gas lease with Killam & Hurd, Ltd.
