99 F.3d 695 - Canutillo Independent School District v. National Union Fire Insurance Co. of Pittsburgh — 99 F.3d 695

The Fifth Circuit in Canutillo Independent School District v. National Union Fire Insurance Co. of Pittsburgh held that National Union had no duty to defend or indemnify the school district for claims brought by third parties. Because the denial of coverage for the Mendoza claims was reasonable, the court said there could be no breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing as a matter of law. The case also involved counterclaims under the Texas Insurance Code and DTPA.
