701 S.W.2d 71 (1985)

The UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT EL PASO, Appellant, v. Jessica NAVA, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, El Paso.

Rehearing Denied January 9, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jim Mattox, Atty. Gen., Patrick J. Feeney, Asst. Atty. Gen., Austin, for appellant.

Michael P. Moffeit, El Paso, for appellee.

Before STEPHEN F. PRESLAR, C.J., and WARD and OSBORN, JJ.

OPINION

WARD, Justice.

The sole question presented on this appeal is whether, in a proper case, the monetary limitation of liability for damages for personal injury contained in the Texas Tort Claims Act should be applied to the total amount of a plaintiff's damages before the application is made of the comparative negligence percentage against the plaintiff's damages. We hold in the negative and affirm the trial court's judgment.
