Molina v. Alvarado

Supreme Court of Texas - May 8, 2015 - S.W.3d - 2015 WL 2148055

Motorist brought action against city and city employee for injuries sustained when employee struck motorist while driving city vehicle under the influence of alcohol. The District Court denied employee summary judgment. The Court of Appeals affirmed. Employee’s petition for review was granted.

The Supreme Court of Texas held that motorist’s filing of suit against city rather than city employee barred future suit against employee pursuant to election-of-remedies provision of the Tort Claim Act.
