## Opinion text

LEE ANN DAUPHINOT, Justice,
dissenting.
Appellant City of Haltom City argued below only that there was no waiver of sovereign immunity. Because I believe the summary judgment evidence supports the trial court’s decision and that justice would be best served in this case by allowing Appellees a trial on the merits, I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion reversing the sound decision of the trial court.
