1Opinion of the Court
BRIAN QUINN, Justice.
The Texas Workers’ Compensation Insurance Fund, (the Fund) appeals an order denying its subrogation rights concerning funds paid into the court registry by Safeguard Insurance Company (Safeguard). Through its sole issue, the Fund contends that the trial court erred in denying its “claims for subrogation interest against the [uninsured motorist] proceeds based on its previous payment of compensation to and medical benefits on behalf of [Su-sannah] Knight, [Susana] Maldonado, and [Houston R.] Ewing.” We agree and reverse the apportionment order executed by the trial court.
