MEMORANDUM  Opinion


 

          In this interlocutory appeal, we have reviewed the trial court’s denial of a plea to the jurisdiction filed by the City of Waco against claims brought by David Wright and Janet Key arising out of the deaths of two children, who drowned in a drainage culvert and tunnel constructed and maintained by the City.  We affirm the denial of the City’s plea.  City of Tyler v. Likes, 962 S.W.2d 489 (Tex. 1997); Univ. of Tex. at San Antonio v. Trevino, 2002 Tex. App. Lexis 8395 (Tex. App.—San Antonio November 27, 2002, no pet.); City of Fort Worth v. Gay, 977 S.W.2d 814 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1998, no pet.).
