Texas Supreme Court

City of Dallas, Petitioner v. Kenneth Reed, Respondent

May 16, 200851 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 919

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a two‑inch elevation difference between traffic lanes is not a special defect under the Texas Tort Claims Act and, because the City lacked actual knowledge of the condition, it is also not a premises defect; consequently the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and dismissed the case.
