Texas Supreme Court May 12, 2017, 15-0732 (University of the Incarnate Word v. Redus)

Justice Devine

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code provides for an interlocutory appeal *906from an order that “grants or denies a plea to the jurisdiction by a governmental unit.” Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014(a)(8). The term “governmental unit” has the same meaning here as it does in the Texas Tort Claims Act. Id. §§ 51.104(a)(8), 101.
