How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a state agency's failure to properly screen, hire, train, supervise, and discipline employees who later committed assault while employed by the state agency was misuse of information, not of tangible personal property
• holding that plaintiff’s claims of failure to discipline, hire, train, and supervise or otherwise direct employees with regard to sexual harassment and assault did not involve use of tangible property and thus were barred under TTCA
• holding that the case should be dismissed if, “after having a reasonable opportunity to conduct discovery directed to the issue and amend the pleadings,” the plaintiff still fails to show facts overcoming the governmental unit’s plea to the jurisdiction
• holding plaintiff did not establish waiver of immunity under Texas Tort Claims Act for negligent hiring, training, and supervision because plaintiff did not allege use of tangible personal property
• indicating that “[u]sing . . . cameras for surveillance,” as opposed to merely deciding where to place the cameras for future use, constitutes “use” under the Act because doing so “put[s] or bring[s] them into service or employ[s] or appl[ies] them to a given purpose”
