With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". counterclaim sought a determination that CDB had breached the agreements. See Latham v. Allison, 560 S.W.2d 481, 485 (Tex.Civ.App. — Fort Worth 1977, writ refd n.r.e.) (defining counterclaim as “a claim, which, if established will defeat or in some way qualify a judgment to which the plaintiff is otherwise entitled. It embraces both setoff and recoupment, and also comprehends recon-vention as well as all adversary actions by the defendant in a case.”); see also Black’s Law Dictionary 315 (5th ed.1979) (defining counterclaim as a “claim presented by a defendant in opposition to or deduction from the plaintiffs claim”). Accordingly, the trial court did not err in overruling CDB’s motion for JNOV. See generally Hobbs Trailers v. J.T. Arnett Grain Co., Inc., 560 S.W.2d 85, 88 (Tex.1977) -(<HOLDING>); Barraza v. Koliba, 933 S.W.2d 164, 167-68
