Texas Supreme Court

Golda A. Lyons, Petitioner v. the Millers Casualty Insurance Company of Texas, Respondents

December 8, 199337 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 241

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that the jury's finding of bad faith against Millers Casualty was not supported by sufficient evidence under the Aranda test, and clarified that legal sufficiency review of bad‑faith claims must focus on the relationship of the evidence to the elements of bad faith. Justice Doggett dissented, arguing that the majority's new rule improperly permits factual sufficiency review in violation of the Texas Constitution.
