Dallas Metrocare v. Juarez

July 17, 2012

The court also issued a memorandum opinion in another governmental immunity case.  In this instance, the court of appeals affirmed the trial court’s denial of a plea to the jurisdiction, concluding that the plaintiff had properly alleged a waiver of sovereign immunity based on the government body’s use or condition of tangible personal property – namely, the 4×8-foot, improperly secured whiteboard that had fallen on the plaintiff’s head.
