OPINION

YATES, Justice.

This is an interlocutory appeal from the denial of a motion for summary judgment. 1 Virginia Moody, the appellee, sued Deputy Michael A. Woods, Harris County, and the Harris County Sheriffs Department (collectively “appellants”). The chief issue in this appeal is whether Woods is entitled to official immunity. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

This appeal arises from an auto accident involving Woods and Moody. The exact cause of the collision is disputed, but it is admitted that Woods struck Moody’s vehicle from behind while on Harris County business.
