Nor have Plaintiffs offered any facts showing that they and Carmichael have a special relationship, not rooted in the policy, that would justify placing a duty on Carmichael. Cf. Natividad, 875 S.W.2d at 701 (Gamage, J. dissenting) (making an argument that an adjusting company to which an insurer delegated total control for claims handling had a special relationship with the insureds); William H. McGee & Co., Inc. v. Schick, 792 S.W.2d 513, 521 (Tex.Ct.App.1990), vacated on other grounds, 843 S.W.2d 473 (Tex.1992) (similarly recognizing a special relationship in specific circumstances); Travelers Ins. Co. v.
