OPINION

Opinion by Justice CASTILLO.

The City of Mission presents an interlocutory appeal from the denial of a plea to the jurisdiction.2 In two issues, the City argues that the trial court improperly denied its plea to the jurisdiction because the Texas Tort Claims Act does not waive sovereign immunity for a municipality's allegedly negligent design of a city road. We reverse and render.
