On Motion for Rehearing.
We have concluded that we were in error in ¡holding under the facts in this case that the policy had become canceled for nonpayment of premiums.
It seems to be settled law in this state that under a policy containing provisions similar to those in this policy, the waiver of premiums dates from the time the insured becomes totally disabled and not from the date that the proof is received and approved by the insurance company. State Life Ins. Co. v. Barnes (Tex. Civ. App.) 58 S.W.(2d) 189, and authorities there cited.
Under the above authorities we hold tijat this policy is not barred and canceled for nonpayment of premiums. This being true, judgment should not have been here rendered, but the cause should have been remanded for another trial.
That part of our former judgment which rendered judgment for appellant will be set aside, and this cause will be remanded for another trial.
