Description
Appellants Silverio Zuniga and his wife Refugia Zuniga sued appellees Navarro & Associates, P.C., and Rashay A. Koster Chapa, an associate in the Navarro law firm. The trial court granted Navarro and Chapas traditional motion for summary judgment on their affirmative defenses of governmental and official immunity. This appeal ensued. In five issues, appellants complain that Navarro and Chapa: (1) failed to prove that they were employees of a governmental entity; (2) exceeded the scope of their authorized employment; (3) failed to prove performance of discretionary acts; (4) failed to prove good faith; and, (5) filed a conclusory summary-judgment affidavit. Because Navarro and Chapa did not prove the elements of agency and good faith necessary to their affirmative defense, we reverse the summary judgment and remand the case to the trial court.
