Deputy Corey Alexander and Sergeant Jimmie Cook, Petitioners v. April Walker, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and granted the officers’ petition for summary judgment, holding that the plaintiff’s suit against the deputies was filed in their official capacities and therefore must be dismissed under subsection (f) of the Texas Tort Claims Act’s election-of‑remedies provision, which does not trigger the bar on suing the governmental unit under subsection (a).
