A motion for summary judgment was sustained and a judgment entered in the 8th Judicial District Court of Hunt County that Kenneth Gentry take nothing in his suit against McKnight Construction Company. The original judgment entered was superseded by a nunc pro tunc judgment. Gentry has perfected an appeal from the latter.

Previous to the summary judgment in Hunt County, the record shows that as next friend of his six year old son, Kenneth Dwayne Gentry, and in his individual capacity, Kenneth Gentry instituted an action against Jerry Lollar and McKnight Construction Company in the 62nd District Court of Lamar County. Gentry alleged McKnight Construction Company was Lol-lar’s employer, and that a collision occurred between a dump truck operated by Lollar and an automobile driven by the elder Gentry in which the child was a passenger. Lollar’s negligence was alleged to be the *288proximate cause of the collision and resulting injury and damage to Gentry and his son.

McKnight Construction Company’s plea of privilege to be sued in Hunt County was sustained and the action as to the company was severed and transferred to Hunt County. ‘Gentry proceeded with suit in Lamar County and secured judgment against Lollar in the amount of $3,000.00 for himself and $1,695.25 for his son, together with costs, etc. On the day judgment was entered, January 10, 1969, Gentry filed a document labeled “Release of Judgment” with the District Clerk of Lamar County, the Clerk of the court where the judgment was rendered. The instrument recited and acknowledged that the judgment was paid, satisfied and discharged.

Following termination of the Lamar County proceeding on February 27, 1969, McKnight Construction Company filed a motion in the District Court of Hunt County for summary judgment. Exhibits attached to the motion included a certified copy of the mentioned judgment of the District Court of Lamar County, and of the release thereof. The motion was sustained and on June 6, 1969, a take nothing judgment was signed and entered in the Hunt County suit. Slightly more than two weeks later, on June 21, 1969, the original judgment was supplanted by a nunc pro tunc judgment likewise disallowing recovery.

Upon severance of Gentry’s suit against McKnight Construction Company from that against Lollar, Gentry had two separate suits for recovery of damages for the same injury, or injuries, one pending in Lamar, the other in Hunt County. It is a fundmental rule that regardless of the number of causes of action that may be lawfully brought for a tortious injury, but one satisfaction can be had therefor. Hunt v. Ziegler, 271 S.W. 936 (Tex.Civ.App., San Antonio 1925).* The American Law Institute (1st Ed. 1942) Restatement of the Law of Judgments § 95 puts the rule in this language: “The discharge or satisfaction of the judgment against one of several persons each of whom is liable for a tort, breach of contract, or other breach of duty, discharges each of the others from liability therefor.” Gentry prevailed in the Lamar County suit and recovered damages for the injuries alleged. Upon satisfaction of the judgment, Gentry’s right of action was extinguished.

The Lamar County Judgment contained a provision as follows, to-wit:

“It is the further order of this court that this judgment is a judgment against the defendant Jerry Lollar, only, and by no means is to be considered as being a judgment against McKnight Construction Company of Commerce, Texas, the other defendant herein, which other defendant has filed its plea of privilege herein which has been granted by this court as far as McKnight Construction Company only is concerned, and that cause of action has been severed here-from and transferred to Greenville, Hunt County, Texas, as prayed for by McKnight Construction Company.”

In this appeal Gentry takes the position that this paragraph reserved to him a right to recover damages in Hunt County against *289McKnight Construction Company in addition to the satisfied award thereof in the Lamar County suit. The quoted language standing alone or in context with the remainder of the judgment does not expressly or by implication reserve to Gentry such right. It reaffirmed the clear import of the instrument, that the judgment was against Lollar only, and not against McKnight Construction Company. Because the provision does not constitute a reservation, the legal effect of a reservation of the nature claimed is not reached.

This court has no alternative to affiirm-ing the judgment of the trial court. It is so ordered.
