Texas Supreme Court
Texas Department of Transportation, Petitioner v. Jesus Garza and Maria Elena Garza
January 24, 200245 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 332
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that a speed‑limit sign that accurately reflects the legally set speed does not constitute a “condition” of a traffic sign under the Texas Tort Claims Act, so sovereign immunity was not waived and the case was dismissed for lack of subject‑matter jurisdiction. The Court also affirmed its conflicts jurisdiction over the differing appellate decisions.
