Court of Appeals of Texas, Texarkana.

Decided December 19, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Craig Orr, Jr., Heygood, Orr, Reyes & Bartolomei, Irving, for appellees.

Before MORRISS, C.J., ROSS and CARTER, JJ.


OPINION

Opinion by Justice CARTER.

This is an appeal from a summary judgment entered in favor of April Gordon, Individually, and as Next Friend of Dakota Gordon, and Ronnie Gordon (collectively the Gordons). At issue is the interpretation of a short, seemingly simple provision of a high-low settlement agreement entered into by the Gordons and Employers Reinsurance Corporation (ERC). We reverse and remand.
