Supreme Court of Texas

In an insurer's suit for indemnification, arising from an underlying suit involving subcontractor's workers who fell and died after being hoisted up on a rope through a pulley system by a pickup truck, court of appeals' holding that the "auto use" and "subsequent-to-execution" exclusions in the insurance policies applied in granting summary judgment to the policyholder is affirmed in part and reversed in part where: 1) the court of appeals correctly determined that the insured contract was executed and that the "subsequent-to-execution" exclusions in the CAP and CGL policies were not triggered as a matter of law; and 2) the court of appeals erred in holding that the "auto use" exclusion in All State's CGL policy did not apply.
