Fidelity Deposit v. Central St. Bank

1 Citing case

  1. National Sur. Corp. v. Rauscher, Pierce Co.

    369 F.2d 572 (5th Cir. 1967)   Cited 11 times
    Affirming award of court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in defending suits arising out of fraudulent acts of an employee which were covered under fidelity bond

    At the outset we start with the Texas rule that doubts in construction of the bond must be resolved against the surety. Fidelity and Deposit Co. of Maryland v. Central State Bank, Tex. Civ.App. 1928, 12 S.W.2d 611, 613; Massachusetts Bonding Ins. Co. v. Texas Finance Corp., Tex.Civ.App. 1924, 258 S.W. 250, error dismissed; First State Bank v. Metropolitan Casualty Ins. Co., 1935, 125 Tex. 113, 79 S.W.2d 835, 98 A.L.R. 1256. But we see no doubt and no reason to import doubt.
