OPINION

SAM J. DAY, Justice.

In this interlocutory appeal, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) challenges the trial court's denial of its plea to the jurisdiction, raising one point: the trial court erred by refusing to dismiss the case for want of jurisdiction because Appellees failed to give the formal or actual notice required by Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code Section 101.101. We reverse and render.
