OPINION

ANDERSON, Justice.

This is an appeal from a summary judgment granted in favor of Armando Torres, a Brazoria County probation officer. Appellant Rhodes, plaintiff below, asserted claims against Torres following her arrest. The trial court granted summary judgment to Torres based on his summary judgment evidence establishing the defense of official immunity which includes the element of good faith. Appellant contends on appeal that a genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether Officer Torres acted in good faith in causing her arrest. We affirm.
