                                      NO. 03-22-00817-CV

                         The Hanover Insurance Company, Appellant

                                                v.

                     The City of Buda and The Barr Co., AIA, Appellees

                 FROM THE 207TH DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY
            NO. 21-0838, THE HONORABLE SHERRI TIBBE, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant The Hanover Insurance Company has filed a petition for permissive

appeal seeking to challenge an interlocutory order denying its motion for summary judgment.

               To be entitled to a permissive appeal from an interlocutory order that would not

otherwise be appealable, the requesting party must establish that (1) the order to be appealed

involves a “controlling question of law as to which there is a substantial ground for difference of

opinion” and (2) an immediate appeal from the order “may materially advance the ultimate

termination of the litigation.” Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014(d); see Tex. R. App. P.

28.3(e)(4); Tex. R. Civ. P. 168. Because we conclude that the petition fails to establish each

requirement element, we deny the petition for permissive appeal. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.

Code § 51.014(d); Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(e)(4).
