OPINION
James T. Worthen, Chief Justice
The Texas Supreme Court remanded this case to us to determine whether the City of Jacksonville’s actions in terminating Wasson Interests, Ltd.’s (WIL) assumed ninety-nine year lease of real property on the City’s water reservoir is a governmental or proprietary function. See Wasson Interests, Ltd. v. City of Jacksonville, 489 S.W.3d 427, 439 (Tex. 2016). Because we determine that the City’s acts that form the basis of this suit are part of four governmental functions described in the Texas Tort Claims Act (TTCA), we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
