In addition to the powers enumerated in or implied by this charter, the city shall have and may exercise all powers of local self-government and all other powers, rights, privileges, and immunities, under the constitution and laws of the State of Texas.
(November 2, 2021, measure F)
In order to preserve a claim under the Texas Tort Claims Act, Chapter 101, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, notice of personal injury, death, or property damages must be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the city manager within ninety days of the date that the incident giving rise to the claim occurred. The notice must:
(1) 
describe the damage or injury claimed;
(2) 
state the time, date, and place of the incident;
(3) 
describe the incident in reasonable detail;
(4) 
state the city’s alleged fault producing or contributing to the injury or damage; and
(5) 
identify all parties involved in the claim.
This ninety-day notice is not required if the city has actual notice of all elements of the claim, including knowledge of fault and knowledge of the injury or damage. In addition, the city may, by majority vote of its city council, waive the ninety-day notice requirement for good cause. Any claim against the city is subject to the limitations of the Texas Tort Claims Act.
