v.

Greg Abbott, Attorney General of Texas and Stephanie Townsend Allala, Appellees

APPEAL FROM 261ST DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE JONES, JUSTICES PEMBERTON AND ROSE REVERSED AND RENDERED ON REHEARING -- OPINION BY JUSTICE ROSE

This is an appeal from the order signed by the district court on December 2, 2013. Having

reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was reversible error in

the district court’s order. We therefore order that the opinion and judgment dated August 1,

2014, are withdrawn; and that the Court reverses the district court’s order denying the City of El

Paso, Texas’s plea to the jurisdiction and renders judgment granting the plea; and dismissing

Stephanie Townsend Allala’s claims for mandamus relief. Appellee Allala shall pay all costs

relating to this appeal, both in this Court and the court below.
