Texas Supreme Court

Progressive County Mutual Insurance Company, Petitioner v. Barry Boyd, Respondent

August 26, 200548 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1020

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and held that, although the trial court erred in granting summary judgment on Boyd’s extra‑contractual claims, the error was harmless because the jury’s breach‑of‑contract finding of no coverage eliminated any liability on those claims. Accordingly, Boyd recovers nothing.
