Mid-Century Insurance Company of Texas and Texas Farmers Insurance Company, Petitioners v. Shefqet Ademaj, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and held that automobile insurers may recoup the Authority fee from policyholders under Article 21.35B without including the fee in their Article 5.101 rate filings, because the commissioner’s rule authorizing such collection is permissible. Justice O’Neill filed a concurring opinion disagreeing with the majority’s construction of Article 21.35B.
