February 10, 200043 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 424
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that former Insurance Code article 21.79E does not apply to county mutual insurance companies because the exemption in article 17.22(a) requires a statute to either be enumerated or expressly incorporate county mutuals by specific terms. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the insurers’ summary‑judgment victory, leaving the insureds with no recovery.
