In Texas, municipalities, or any governmental entity, generally have “sovereign immunity” from law suits. As a result, there are strict guidelines to follow when suing a municipality, i.e. the government. One such guideline is the six month notice requirement under the Texas Tort Claims Act (TTCA).
In other words, you cannot sue the government unless the government allows you to do so. Many states, including Texas, have waived sovereign immunity for some negligence claims. As a result, citizens can sue the state, county, city, and local governments and agencies for injuries.
Under this rule, the government must give people permission to sue them. The State of Texas, however, like many other states, grants citizens the right to sue the State, cities, and/or counties by Statute. The Statute is called the Texas Tort Claims Act.
