Texas Supreme Court

Clara Dewitt, Petitioners v. Harris County, Texas, Respondent

September 14, 1995904 S.W.2d 650

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Harris County is not liable under section 101.021(2) of the Texas Tort Claims Act for the negligence of an employee who is protected by official immunity, and affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment. Justice Gammage dissented, arguing that the county should be liable despite the employee's immunity.
