1Opinion of the CourtDavid Puryear, Justice
In this interlocutory appeal, the City of Killeen appeals the trial court's denial of its plea to the jurisdiction, contending that the City did not have "actual notice" of appellees' wrongful-death claims, which is required to waive the City's governmental immunity under the Texas Tort Claims Act (TTCA). See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 101.101(c). For the following reasons, we reverse the trial court's order and render judgment granting the City's plea to the jurisdiction, dismissing appellees' claims against the City for want of jurisdiction.
