Olivas v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co.

OPINION ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

The Appellees have filed a motion for rehearing with several contentions as to errors in our original opinion. They again urge that by accepting less than the full amount of the coverage from the carrier for the tortfeasor that this suit is barred. We note that on the same date as our original opinion, the Austin Court of Appeals reached the same results on this issue as this Court in their opinion by Justice Jones in Leal v. Northwestern National County Mutual Insurance Company, 846 S.W.2d 576, January 27, 1993. The Motion for Rehearing is overruled.
