Description
This is an appeal from a summary judgment. Donna and Steve Austin, plaintiffs-appellants, sued John Hale, Todd Maslow and the Texas Department of Human Resources (DHR), defendants-appellees, claiming that Hale and Maslow, who are employees of DHR, and DHR were negligent in investigating a report that their two-year-old daughter was being abused while she was living with her aunt and uncle. DHR moved for a summary judgment on the ground of sovereign immunity, and Hale and Maslow moved for a summary judgment based on the defense of official immunity. The court granted the summary judgments. Although the Austins consented to the entry of the summary judgment in favor of DHR, they appeal the summary judgment in favor of Hale and Maslow, claiming that the doctrine of official immunity does not apply in this case. We affirm.
