Description
Seven cities*fn1 to which the City of Texarkana, Texas, d/b/a Texarkana Water Utilities, has been supplying water for decades sued Texarkana in both contract and tort, asserting various causes of action arising from that relationship. Texarkana asserted below that governmental immunity completely bars the suit, but the trial court rejected its assertion. Texarkana now asks this Court to uphold its claim of governmental immunity and dismiss the action entirely. Although we agree with Texarkana that governmental immunity bars the causes of action sounding in tort, we conclude it does not bar those sounding in contract. Accordingly, we affirm as to the contract claims, leaving those pending for further action in the trial court, and reverse as to the tort claims, dismissing them.
