The Texas Health Insurance Risk Pool appealed a decision by the District Court of Travis County, which granted summary judgment in favor of Southwest Service Life Insurance Company and Regal Life of America Insurance Company. Southwest and Regal had sought a declaratory judgment to avoid paying assessments levied by the Pool, arguing their policies qualified as other limited benefit coverage under the Texas Insurance Code and were therefore exempt. The trial court agreed, denying the Pool's cross-motion for summary judgment and awarding attorney's fees to Southwest and Regal. On appeal, the Court affirmed the trial court's judgment, concluding that Southwest and Regal's policies fell within the statutory exception for limited benefit coverage and that the award of attorney's fees was not an abuse of discretion.
