District Judge Jack Roberts ruled the Texas Board of Insurance Commissioners lacked power to require a $100 mandatory deductible clause in windstorm hurricane and hail policies. The test case by Jess D. Carter Austin attorney challenged the board's Sept 1 1946 and June 13 1949 orders claiming discrimination against small insurers and homeowners. The ruling may be appealed to the Third Court of Civil Appeals and then the State Supreme Court.
