Richard Myers v. Hall Columbus Lender, LLC

OPINION

Opinion by

Justice FITZGERALD.

Appellee Hall Columbus Lender, LLC (Lender) sued appellant Richard Myers for breaching contracts in which Myers promised to defend Lender against certain claims. In response to Lender’s motion for summary judgment, Myers argued as a matter of contract interpretation that he was not in breach because his duty to defend had not been triggered. The trial judge granted a partial summary judgment for Lender and later signed a final judgment in Lender’s favor. Agreeing with Myers’s interpretation of the contracts, we reverse and remand.
