Texas Department of Transportation v. Mark Self and Birgit Self
Citation: Not availableDocket: 02-21-00240-CV
Court: Court of Appeals of Texas; April 28, 2022; Texas; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
The Court of Appeals for the Second Appellate District of Texas reviewed motions for rehearing from both the Appellees, Mark and Birgit Self, and the Appellant, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The court denied both motions and withdrew its previous opinion and judgment dated February 10, 2022, substituting it with a new ruling. The court found errors in part of the trial court’s order and issued a mixed judgment: it reversed the trial court’s denial of TxDOT’s plea to the jurisdiction regarding the Selfs’ negligence and inverse-condemnation claims, resulting in the dismissal of those claims. Conversely, the court affirmed the trial court’s denial of TxDOT’s plea to the jurisdiction concerning the Selfs’ independent-contractor claim. Each party is ordered to bear their own appellate costs.
