Texas Supreme Court
City of Corsicana, Texas, Petitioner v. Patrick Stewart Sr. and Sentria Whitfield
March 28, 200851 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 682
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that the plaintiffs failed to raise a genuine issue of fact that the City of Corsicana actually knew the low‑water crossing was flooded at the time of the accident, and therefore the waiver of sovereign immunity under the Texas Tort Claims Act did not apply. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and dismissed the action for lack of jurisdiction.
