The opinion
GONZALEZ, Justice,
dissenting.
I concur with the court’s holding that the property owner’s claim to insurance benefits derive from statute and not common law. However, I would apply prospectively the holding that Tex.Ins.Code Ann. arts. 1.04(f) and 21.49, § 9, along with Tex.Rev. Civ.Stat.Ann. art. 6252-13a, § 19(b) be read together to determine jurisdictional prerequisites for appeal.
Neither art. 1.04(f) nor art. 21.49, § 9 provides claimants with notice of any filing time limits. There are no cross references in either article to the APTRA, § 19(b). Further, until now, no case has applied § 19(b)’s thirty-day time limit to this area of the law. Under these circumstances, I would not deny respondents their day in court.
As § 19(b) is now considered as an additional procedural prerequisite for jurisdiction, aggrieved parties must be meticulous in their preparation for an agency appeal. Reference must be made to the APTRA for concurrent or cumulative procedural prerequisites for statutory schemes, unless contrary intent appears in the enabling statute. See art. 6252-13a, § 1.
