Texas Catastrophe Property Insurance Association, Petitioners v. Council of Co-Owners of Saida Ii Towers…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the petitioners failed to name the State Board of Insurance as a defendant within the thirty‑day period required by the Administrative Procedure and Texas Register Act and the Insurance Code, so the trial court correctly dismissed their actions for want of jurisdiction. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the trial court's dismissal. Justice Gonzalez dissented, arguing that the time‑limit requirement should not be treated as a jurisdictional bar.
