DRISKILL v. STATE

No. C-9408.

787 S.W.2d 369 (1990)

Avis DRISKILL and Bobby Driskill, Petitioners, v. The STATE of Texas, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Texas.

April 18, 1990.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

W. Bruce Cottongame, Carol A. Swanda, Fort Worth, for petitioners.

John W. Kennedy, Jim Mattox, Delmar L. Cain, Austin, for respondent.

OPINION

DOGGETT, Justice.

In this case we consider both whether the State is immune from suit for injuries caused by the negligent operation of a motor vehicle by an employee of the State Comptroller and whether a claimant's release of a state employee has the effect of releasing the State. The trial court granted summary judgment for the State on grounds of immunity and release, and the court of appeals affirmed. 779 S.W.2d 945
