The University of Texas M.d. Anderson Cancer Center, Petitioner v. Lance McKenzie

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' denial of M.D. Anderson Cancer Center's plea to the jurisdiction, holding that the hospital's use of a sugar‑water carrier agent (D5W) constitutes negligent "use" of tangible personal property that waives sovereign immunity, and that the record raises a genuine issue of fact on proximate cause because the injury was foreseeable.
