David C. Points III

David Points III focuses his practice on defending insurers in underinsured/uninsured motorist (UIM/UM) claims across the state of Texas. He brings a thorough command of Texas civil procedure, the Texas Insurance Code, and the evolving body of UIM case law to every matter handled. He regularly represents clients throughout Texas’s state and federal courts, guiding insurers through the full lifecycle of UIM litigation — from initial coverage analysis and discovery strategy through dispositive motions, alternative dispute resolution, and trial. He has particular experience defending against bad faith allegations that frequently accompany UIM/UM disputes.

He also handles general liability and catastrophic injury litigation, domestic and surplus line carriers, and a wide variety of bad faith claims in both state and federal courts, leveraging his substantial experience to consistently achieve favorable results for his clients.

His philosophy is that effective representation inherently entails appropriately litigating the size and complexity of the matter. Focused discovery, early exploration of settlement potential, and judicious use of motion practice are the key elements of his practice style.  Tailoring the level of litigation to the size and complexity of the matter, David consistently achieves favorable results for his clients in a cost-conscious manner.

Personal service and professional excellence are the foundation upon which David has built his practice. He was formerly a plaintiff’s-side personal injury attorney and is well-respected by both sides of the legal profession. His proficiency guides his approach that is both pragmatic and detail-oriented, helping clients manage risk while positioning cases for efficient and favorable resolution.
