James Lewis Robertson Et Al. v. Ranger Insurance Company

Amelda Ann McKnight was a passenger in an airplane flown by Byron McKnight, her husband, when the plane crashed in 1974. Both were killed. Thereafter, Robertson, as executor of Amelda Anns estate, sued the estate of Byron McKnight for wrongful death in the Travis County District Court. Judgment was rendered in that suit, and ultimately appealed to this court. This court dealt with an inter-spousal immunity question and remanded the cause for a trial on the merits on the basis that New Mexico law on inter-spousal immunity should be applied. 609 S.W.2d 534.
