§ 47.200. Determination on evidence of presumed fact: Where basic facts established

When reasonable minds would necessarily agree that the evidence renders the existence

of the basic facts more probable than not, but direct evidence is introduced contrary

to the existence of the presumed fact, the question of the existence of the presumed

fact is determined as follows: 1. If reasonable minds would necessarily agree that the direct evidence renders the

nonexistence of the presumed fact more probable than not, the judge shall direct the

jury to find against the existence of the presumed fact. 2. If reasonable minds would necessarily agree that the direct evidence does not render

the nonexistence of the presumed fact more probable than not, the judge shall direct

the jury to find in favor of the presumed fact. 3. If reasonable minds would not necessarily agree as to whether the direct evidence

renders the nonexistence of the presumed fact more probable than not, the judge shall

submit the matter to the jury with an instruction to find in favor of the existence

of the presumed fact unless they find from the direct evidence that its nonexistence

is more probable than its existence, in which event they should find against its existence.
