Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment for the school district and bus driver, holding that the district’s sovereign immunity was not waived because Monica’s injury did not arise from the operation or use of a motor‑driven vehicle, and that the driver, as a professional employee, is statutorily immune. Two dissenting opinions argue that the majority misinterprets the Tort Claims Act and that factual issues remain on whether the injury arose from the bus’s use.
