§ 47.190. Determination on evidence of basic facts
When a presumption is made conclusive by statute or no direct evidence is introduced
contrary to the existence of the presumed fact, the question of the existence of the
presumed fact depends upon the existence of the basic facts and is determined as follows: 1. If reasonable minds would necessarily agree that the evidence renders the existence
of the basic facts more probable than not, the judge shall direct the jury to find
in favor of the existence of the presumed fact. 2. If reasonable minds would necessarily agree that the evidence does not render the
existence of the basic facts more probable than not, the judge shall direct the jury
to find against the existence of the presumed fact. 3. If reasonable minds would not necessarily agree as to whether the evidence renders
the existence of the basic facts 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 if they find from the evidence that the existence of the basic facts is more
probable than not, but otherwise to find against the existence of the presumed fact.
