Texas Association of Counties County Government Risk Management Pool, Petitioner v. Matagorda County and Keith…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that the Texas Association of Counties County Government Risk Management Pool (TAC) is not entitled to reimbursement from Matagorda County for settlement funds paid under a reservation of rights because the County’s consent cannot be implied and no equitable or quasi‑contractual reimbursement right exists. Justice Owen, dissenting, argued that the County was unjustly enriched and should be required to reimburse the settlement.
