Melvin West v. Southern County Mutual Insurance Company
Texas Court of Appeals, 5th District (Dallas)
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
Opinion by
Justice MOSELEY.
Melvin West appeals a summary judgment in favor of Southern County Mutual Insurance Company. In a single issue, West argues the trial court erred by granting summary judgment because the phrase “domestic employee,” as used in a business automobile insurance policy, is ambiguous. We disagree.

We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
