Texas Supreme Court
City of Dallas, Petitioner v. Margaret Thompson, Respondent
December 1, 200650 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 189
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's dismissal of Margaret Thompson's premises liability claim against the City of Dallas, holding that the City lacked actual knowledge of the dangerous condition at the time of the injury. The Court explained that knowledge of a condition's potential to become hazardous, prior reports, or employee proximity does not satisfy the actual‑knowledge requirement for governmental immunity.
