OPINION

Opinion by Justice LANG-MIERS.

Appellees sued the City of Dallas for injuries they sustained when a gorilla escaped its outdoor exhibit at the Dallas zoo and attacked them. The City filed a plea to the jurisdiction, arguing that governmental immunity barred appellees' claims. The trial court denied the City's plea to the jurisdiction. We affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.
