Per Curiam Opinion [pdf]
The issue presented is whether an employee of a governmental unit may take an interlocutory
appeal from an order denying his motion to dismiss based on section 101.106(e) of the Texas Civil
Practice and Remedies Code. We hold that he can and reverse the judgment of the court of appeals.
