OPINION
Opinion by
Justice FITZGERALD.
The City of Dallas brings this interlocutory appeal from the trial court’s denial of its plea to the jurisdiction. See Tex. Civ. PRAC. & Rem.Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(8) (Vernon Supp.2006). In a single issue, the City argues that appellee VRC LLC failed to plead a viable takings claim against the City so as to overcome the City’s governmental immunity. For the reasons discussed below, we agree with the City. Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s order denying the plea, and we dismiss VRC’s state and federal takings claims for lack of jurisdiction.
