National Savings Insurance Co. v. Gaskins
Court of Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
HUGHES, Justice.
This appeal is from a summary judgment granted in a declaratory judgment action. National, an insurance company, wanted a determination of its duty to defend its insured and insured’s employee in a tort action. Gaskins, plaintiffs in the tort action, were also named as defendants in the declaratory judgment action. Gaskins moved for summary judgment claiming they had no justiciable controversy with National on its duty to defend. The trial court granted the motion and severed the cause so judgment would be final. National appealed.
We affirm.
