On August 5, 2004, Gonzalez purchased an insurance policy (“policy”) from Atlantic, which consisted of two kinds of coverage, “Commercial General Liability” and “Building and Personal Property.” Resp. 1; Mot.

Mot. Ex. 1.
B. Procedural Background
Gonzalez initiated the instant action by filing his “Original Petition” in the County *603Court at Law Number Five, in El Paso County, Texas on May 23, 2007. Not. Rem. ¶ 1; Orig. Pet. 1. Gonzalez alleges “bad faith dealings and breach of contract for failure to pay the property damage,” and seeks damages consisting of “$50,-000.00 as the benefits payable under the insurance policy” at issue, and “$50,000.00 as a statutory penalty for Atlantic’s failure to comply with the prompt payment provisions of Article 21.55 of the Insurance Code,” in addition to attorney’s fees, interest, and costs of suit. Orig. Pet. 3. Atlantic filed its Notice of Removal on June 15, 2007. Not. Rem. ¶ 1. Atlantic subsequently filed the instant Motion for Summary Judgment, admitting that it issued Gonzalez an insurance policy, but asserting that the damages suffered are exempted from coverage pursuant to the terms of the policy. Mot. 1-2. The Court, after careful consideration, is of the opinion that summary judgment is appropriate in the instant action.
II. LEGAL STANDARD FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Summary judgment is appropriate “if the pleadings, the discovery and disclosure materials on file, and any affidavits show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the movant is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c). Once the movant has established that there is no genuine issue, the nonmoving party bears the burden to produce evidence that a genuine issue for trial exists. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986). This burden cannot be satisfied by relying on allegations, denials, or unsubstantiated assertions; rather, the nonmoving party must “set forth specific facts showing the existence of a ‘genuine’ issue concerning every essential component of its case.” Morris v. Covan World Wide Moving, Inc., 144 F.3d 377, 380 (5th Cir.1998). The Court will construe the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party and draw all reasonable inferences in his favor. Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., Inc., 530 U.S. 133, 150-51, 120 S.Ct. 2097, 147 L.Ed.2d 105 (2000).
III. ANALYSIS
Atlantic asserts that the damage to the leased property is excluded from coverage pursuant to the terms of both the Commercial General Liability and the Building and Personal Property coverage sections of the policy. Mot. 3. It cites a provision in the Commercial General Liability section excluding any damage to property that is owned, rented, or occupied by the insured.3 Mot. 3. It also cites a provision in the Building and Personal Property section of the policy which allows Gonzalez to recoup only his financial interest in the property.4 Atlantic argues that because Gonzalez leases, and does not own, the property, he has no financial interest in it, and therefore did not “sustain damages payable under the Business and Personal Property coverage.” Mot. 4.
Gonzalez argues that he had “a legal obligation to repair property damage, thereafter obligating [Atlantic] to reimbursement him [sic] for the expenses,” be*604cause his landlord refused to reimburse him for expenses he incurred in repairing the property. Resp. 2-3. Gonzalez provides no authority for his claim that he was obligated to repair the damage. Contrary to that position, he submits that his landlord was obligated to repair any damage to the building which Gonzalez could not have reasonably prevented. Resp. 2 (quoting the lease agreement signed by Gonzalez and his landlord, which provides that “in the event of a partial destruction of the premises during the [lease period], which is beyond [Gonzalez’s] reasonable control,” the landlord is required to make the necessary repairs). Gonzalez does not make any argument relating to the exclusionary provisions that Atlantic cites.
As Atlantic relies on Texas law governing the interpretation of insurance policies in its Motion and Reply, and Gonzalez does not challenge that reliance, the Court will apply Texas law. “The general rules of contract construction govern insurance policy interpretation.” Grain Dealers Mut. Ins. Co. v. McKee, 943 S.W.2d 455, 458 (Tex.1997). The Court’s “primary concern when interpreting a contract is to ascertain and give effect to the intent of the parties,” and in order to do so, will consider the contract as a whole. Seagull Energy E & P, Inc. v. Eland Energy, Inc., 207 S.W.3d 342, 345 (Tex. 2006). “The language in an agreement is to be given its plain grammatical meaning unless to do so would defeat the parties’ intent.” DeWitt County Elec. Coop., Inc. v. Parks, 1 S.W.3d 96, 101 (Tex.1999). “[0]nce [an] insurer demonstrates that an exclusion arguably applies [to the loss suffered by the insured], the burden then shifts back to the insured to show that the claim does not fall within the exclusion or that it comes within an exception to the exclusion.” Luxury Living, Inc. v. Mid-Continent Cas. Co., Civil Action H-02-3166, 2003 WL 22116202, at *7, 2003 U.S. Dist. Lexis 24505, *21 (S.D.Tex. Sept. 10, 2003); see also Harken Exploration Co. v. Sphere Drake Ins. P.L.C., 261 F.3d 466, 471 (5th Cir.2001) (applying Texas law and holding that after an insurer has shown an exclusion applies, “the burden shifts ... to the insured to show that an exception to the exclusion brings the claim against her potentially within the scope of coverage under the insurance policy.”).
In the instant case, Atlantic presents exclusionary provisions which, by their plain language, exempt from coverage the damages at issue. The Commercial General Liability section of the policy explicitly exempts from coverage any damage to property that Gonzalez rents, and Gonzalez stipulated that he rents the building which sustained the damage. Furthermore, the Building and Personal Property section of the policy explicitly provides that coverage will not exceed Gonzalez’s financial interest in the property.5 Gonzalez does not argue that the provisions are inapplicable, ambiguous, or otherwise unenforceable. Significantly, Gonzalez submits a copy of his lease agreement, which plainly states that his landlord is responsible for repairing damage to the building.6 Therefore, the Court concludes that the exclusionary provisions are applicable, and the damage to Gonzalez’s leased property is not covered by the policy.
*605IV. CONCLUSION
Gonzalez does not present any evidence that the policy covers the property damage to his restaurant, and thus fails to establish a question of material fact on any of the claims alleged in his compliant. Therefore, after due consideration, the Court is of the opinion that Atlantic’s Motion for Summary Judgment should be granted, and the cause should be dismissed.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Defendant Atlantic Casualty Insurance Company’s (“Atlantic”) “Motion for Summary Judgment” (Docket No. 16) is GRANTED.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the above-captioned cause be, and hereby is, DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
