City of Amarillo, Petitioner v. Erica Shae Martin, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Texas Tort Claims Act §101.055(2) and article 6701d, §24(e) impose liability on emergency‑vehicle operators only for reckless conduct, not for ordinary negligence, and therefore reversed the Court of Appeals judgment, entering judgment for the City of Amarillo. Justice Spector dissented, arguing that the due‑regard clause creates a negligence standard for non‑privileged conduct.
