Price Collins (Partner-Dallas, TX) and John I. Goodwin (Of
Counsel-Dallas, TX) authored "2021 Insurance Law" for the
November 10, 2021, edition of 2021 SMU Annual Texas
Survey, a survey of significant developments in Texas law in
2020. The authors discuss significant opinions issued by
Texas federal and state courts regarding different areas of
insurance coverage law, including three decisions from the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Texas finding no
insurance coverage for COVID-19 business interruption claims. Price
and John also examine a Texas Supreme Court decision that
recognized a key exception to a well-established rule stating
extrinsic evidence cannot be used to determine an insurer's
duty to defend. Lastly, they address a decision involving punitive
damages in gross negligence cases of intoxicated driving.
