A Texas appellate court affirmed a trial court’s grant of partial summary judgment in favor of an insured in a commercial general liability insurance dispute, holding that the insurer owed a duty to defend because the underlying petition alleged facts potentially within coverage and did not unambiguously trigger the policy’s injury-to-workers exclusion, and further declining to consider extrinsic evidence regarding worker status under the eight-corners rule and the Monroe exception.
