Description

Dallas County brings this interlocutory appeal of the trial courts order denying its plea to the jurisdiction. Christopher Sean Sempe and Carl Raymond Sempe filed suit under 1983 of the civil rights act for violations of their fathers civil rights. The County stated two grounds in support of its plea to the jurisdiction. First, the County alleged the trial court lacked standing over the survival action. Second, it asserted it was immune from suit under the Texas Wrongful Death Act. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. 71.001 (Vernon Supp. 2004-05). The County reasserts these issues on this appeal. We conclude the Sempes have standing and that the County is not immune from the Sempes 1983 action.
