OPINION
Opinion by Justice MAZZANT.
This interlocutory appeal comes to us on a plea to the jurisdiction by a governmental unit. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(8) (Vernon Supp.2005). Appellant Dallas County asserts the trial court erred in denying its plea to the jurisdiction because appellee William T. Hughes failed to comply with the provisions of the Whistleblower Act by filing suit more than ninety days after the alleged violation. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 554.006(b) (Vernon 2004). We affirm the trial court’s order denying Dallas County’s plea to the jurisdiction.
