OPINION

SARAH B. DUNCAN, Justice.

General Agents Insurance Company of America appeals the summary judgment declaring it owes a duty to defend and indemnify Robert C. Arredondo in a lawsuit filed by Rafael Saenz. We reverse this aspect of the trial court’s judgment, because Saenz’ claim is not covered by the GAINSCO policy. In light of this holding, we also reverse the trial court’s award of attorney’s fees to Arredondo and remand this claim to the trial court for further consideration in light of this opinion.
