Texas Supreme Court

Maria Alejandro Reyes

December 3, 201054 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 314

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and dismissed the wrongful‑death action, holding that a storm‑flooded street is not a "special defect" under the Texas Tort Claims Act and that the City of Laredo lacked actual knowledge of the dangerous condition at the time of the accident, so no duty to warn existed.
