City of Houston, Petitioner v. Gerardo G. Torres, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Gerardo G. Torres was not excused from the City of Houston's charter requirement to give written notice of his injury within ninety days, and therefore his failure to do so barred his recovery. The Court reversed the trial court and Court of Civil Appeals judgments in favor of Torres. Justice Ray dissented, arguing the lower court's judgment should be affirmed.
