No Privilege for Employer-Insurer In Texas

The Supreme Court of Texas has determined that there is generally no attorney-client privilege for communications between an employer and an attorney for their insurance provider. The court went on to state that, although they had not recognized a such a privilege, "under certain circumstances, communications between an insurer and its insured may be shielded from discovery by the attorney-client privilege." However, they declined to do so in this instance and did not elaborate on this statement.
