OPINION
Marc W. Brown, Justice
Appellees Joe Murphy, Yoram Ben-Am-ram, and Galtex Development, LLC 1 sued the City of Galveston, claiming that the City unconstitutionally took their property without just compensation through inverse condemnation. The City filed a plea to the jurisdiction, which the trial court denied. The City timely filed this interlocutory appeal, asserting that the trial court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction because the Property Owners’ claims are not ripe for review. We affirm in part, and reverse and render in part a judgment of dismissal.
