THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellant v. DALLAS COUNTY, CITY OF DALLAS, IRVING INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, DALLAS COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT, DALLAS COUNTY SCHOOL EQUALIZATION FUND, AND PARKLAND HOSPITAL DISTRICT, Appellees
On Appeal from the 68th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. TX-12-30113
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Brown, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Brown
In this interlocutory appeal in a case involving property taxes, the State of Texas contends the trial court erred in denying its plea to the jurisdiction based on sovereign immunity. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(a)(8) (West 2015). Appellees agree the State's plea to the jurisdiction should have been granted. They have filed a motion asking us to reverse and remand so they can dismiss the State from the lawsuit. We grant appellees' motion. We reverse and vacate the trial court's August 25, 2014 order denying the plea to the jurisdiction and remand the cause to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
