OPINION

THOMAS, Justice.

Camille H. Tindle appeals from a summary judgment rendered in favor of Jackson National Life Insurance Company (the insurance company) and Kevin W. Roberts (the agent) in her suit for negligence, misrepresentation, and breach of contract. We conclude that Tindle’s claims against the insurance company are barred by the compulsory-counterclaim rule embodied in rule 97(a) of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and that Tindle has failed to challenge all of the agent’s grounds for summary judgment. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
