City of Fort Worth v. Davidson
Texas Commission of Appeals · Decided October 12, 1927 · Speer
298 S.W. 421; 117 Tex. 94; 1927 Tex. App. LEXIS 1630 (South Western Reporter)

City of Fort Worth v. Davidson

Opinion of the Court

SPEER, J.

We think counsel have mistaken the effect of our holding in this case. We have not considered a case against the city based upon the negligence of a police officer. The opinion is not capable of the interpretation that it overrules or questions the long line of decisions holding that a city will not be liable for the negligence of its police officers or other governmental agent.

We recommend that the motion for rehearing be overruled.
