Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co. v. Spears-Peterson

Supreme Court of Texas
Oct 18, 1996
940 S.W.2d 594 (Tex. 1996)

Opinion

No. 96-0803.

October 18, 1996.

John Thomas Dailey, San Antonio, for relator.

Dennis C. Peery, San Antonio, for respondents.


In this mandamus proceeding, we are asked to review the propriety of the trial court's orders denying severance and abatement of the plaintiff's extra-contractual claims against her automobile insurer. We believe that the trial court should have the opportunity to reconsider its rulings in light of our recent opinion in Liberty Nat'l Fire Ins. Co. v. Akin, 927 S.W.2d 627 (Tex. 1996). Accordingly, we overrule the motion for leave to file without considering the merits of the motion or petition for writ of mandamus, and without prejudice to relator again requesting relief from the court of appeals and this Court after the trial court has had an opportunity to reconsider its rulings.
