Connie L. Farley, Petitioner v. Prudential Insurance Company, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed both the trial court’s and the Court of Civil Appeals’ summary‑judgment rulings in an interpleader action involving a group life‑insurance policy. The Court held that genuine issues of fact existed as to whether the deceased lieutenant changed the beneficiary to his wife, Connie Farley, and therefore denied summary judgment to both the claimant and the insurer. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
