Texas Commission of Appeals

1Opinion of the CourtNickels, J.
We refer to the opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals (291 S. W. 674) for a general statement of the case.
1. The policy included this stipulation:
“The assured shall give immediate written notice of any accident, irrespective of whether any personal injury * * * is apparent at the time,” etc.
It is claimed that “written notice” was first given 53 days subsequent to the accident.
Presence of the stipulation and absence of “written notice ‘given immediately’ ” formed a predicate for the insurer’s request for a 'favorable verdict peremptorily instructed. Denial of that request is assigned for error.
