Opinion by

Guillermo Ramos sued the City of Farmers Branch and Bob Phelps, Tim O’Hare, Bill Moses, Charlie Bird, James Smith, and Ben Robinson, each in his official capacity, after the City Council adopted two controversial ordinances Ramos alleged violated the Texas Open Meetings Act (TOMA). Appellants filed a plea to the jurisdiction seeking dismissal of the lawsuit on sovereign immunity grounds, and the trial court denied the plea. Appellants brought this interlocutory appeal under section 51.014(a)(8) of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code.
