Nobles v. Texas Indemnity Ins. Co.

Plaintiffs in error, as “beneficiaries” under the Workmen’s Compensation Law (articles 8306-8309, R. S. 1925) procured an award of “compensation” as for death of a minor son, consequent on injuries received in alleged course of employment in alleged service (“for hire”) of Magnolia Petroleum Company (insured). Defendant in error, insurer, gave requisite notice (section 5, art. 8307), and brought suit to vacate the award. Plaintiffs in error recovered as for “compensation.” On appeal this judgment was reversed and judgment was rendered for the insurer. (Tex. Civ. App.) 1 S.W.(2d) 451.
