Farmer, House, Osuna & Olvera OBTAINS DISMISSAL OF IMPROPER DIRECT ACTION

Congratulations to Wm. David Farmer and Chad W. Schreiber for successfully obtaining dismissal of an improper direct action against an insurance carrier client in Ector County, Texas. The underlying plaintiff sought a determination regarding the duty of defense under the carrier’s commercial automobile insurance policy and filed a claim for declaratory relief against the carrier regarding same. Chad W. Schreiber argued the motion before Judge W.
