Texas Department of Agriculture v. Calderon

OPINION

Opinion by

Justice RODRIGUEZ.

Appellant, the Texas Department of Agriculture (the TDA), brings this accelerated interlocutory appeal following the trial court’s denial of its plea to the jurisdiction. 1 By its sole issue, the TDA asserts that the trial court erred in denying its plea to the jurisdiction because the application of sections 101.106(b) and 101.106(f) of the Texas Tort Claims Act (the Act) to the facts of this case resulted in the TDA’s immunity from suit. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. §§ 101.106(b), (f) (Vernon 2006). We reverse and render.
