Description
American Home Assurance Company, Inc. (American Home) and The Travelers Indemnity Company (Travelers) sought a declaratory judgment against the Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee (UPLC) that using lawyers who are employees of an insurance company to defend insureds under liability policies was not the unauthorized practice of law by the insurer. They also sought attorneys fees from the UPLC. The UPLC, an entity created by the Texas Legislature and appointed by the Texas Supreme Court, counterclaimed for a declaratory judgment and for an injunction enjoining American Home and Travelers from continuing to use staff attorneys to represent their insureds. Both sides moved for summary judgment. The trial court entered a final judgment for the UPLC, holding that the insurance companies were engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, but staying its injunction pending this appeal. We reverse and render judgment for the insurance companies. We reverse and remand for a determination of the attorneys fees owed by the UPLC.
