Texas Farmers Insurance Co. v. Gerdes Ex Rel. Griffin Chiropractic Clinic
Court of Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
FARRAR, Justice.
Appellant, Texas Farmers Insurance Company, appeals the trial court’s summary judgment awarding recovery for breach of contract in favor of appellee, Griffin Chiropractic Clinic, and further challenges the trial court’s action overruling its cross-motion for summary judgment. The sole issue before us is whether the non-assignment clause contained in an insurance contract bars a third-party beneficiary from assigning her rights.
Because we conclude the non-assignment clause was valid, we reverse and render a take-nothing judgment.
The parties agree there is no dispute…
