Texas Supreme Court

Amparo Dolores Riefkohl Craules Vda De Gonzalez, Petitioners v. Mission American Insurance Company, Respondent

October 24, 1990795 S.W.2d 734

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Endorsement No. 1’s limitation of $100,000 per passenger applies only to bodily injury and does not limit coverage for death, so the $1,000,000 limit in the declaration governs wrongful‑death claims. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the trial court’s judgment. Justice Gonzalez filed a concurring opinion and Justice Hecht dissented, each criticizing the majority’s construction.
