Texas’ Third Court of Appeals in Travis County put on hold payments from Allstate Insurance Company to some victims of Hurricane Rita.
Allstate previously had been ordered by a state district judge to pay living expenses to customers displaced by the storm for reasons other than direct damage to their homes after the Texas Department of Insurance took court action against the company.
According to the Associated Press, Allstate has put the payments on hold pending a new appeals hearing.
TDI is seeking a permanent injunction against the company that would force Allstate to pay the claims in question.
Allstate reportedly is continuing to process claims and is asking its policyholders to save documentation and receipts.
