Text: As a preliminary matter, Underwriters argues that we lack jurisdiction. Gilbert contends, in part, that we have jurisdiction because the court of appeals’ opinion conflicts with opinions of other courts of appeals on a question of law material to the decision of the case. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.001(a )( 2). We agree with Gilbert. The court of appeals’ decision is contrary to a decision of the Fourteenth Court of Appeals that held the contractual liability exclusion is limited to liability assumed for conduct of a third party, such as in an indemnity or hold-harmless agreement. See Lennar Corp. v. Great Am. Ins. Co. , 200 S.W.3d 651, 693 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2006, pet. denied). Here, the court of appeals held that the exclusion applies because Gilbert assumed liability in its contract with DART. 245 S.W.3d at 34. We have jurisdiction pursuant to section 22.001(a )( 2) of the Government Code.
