A court of the Eastern District of Texas granted summary judgment to an insurer in a coverage dispute under a liability insurance policy issued to a property-management company, adopting a magistrate’s recommendation and holding under the eight-corners rule that a contract exclusion barred coverage for a lawsuit alleging the insured breached its management agreement by failing to notify an HOA’s insurer of a resident’s claim because the underlying pleading sought liability arising from an express contractual obligation.
