## Opinion text

WALKER, Justice
(dissenting).
Unlike the statutes of other jurisdictions, Art. 5.06-1, V.A.T.S. Insurance Code, provides for uninsured motorist coverage in stated limits “under provisions prescribed by the Board.” In view of this stipulation, it is my opinion that the “other insurance” provisions of the policy, which are entirely reasonable and consistent with the purpose of the statute, are valid and effective. I would hold that respondents are entitled to no recovery against petitioner under the facts of this case.
GREENHILL, REAVELY and McGEE, JJ., join in this dissent.
