Description
Defendant City of Galveston (Galveston) appeals from a judgment rendered on jury findings in a negligence suit brought by Steven W. Shu under Section 3 of the Texas Tort Claims Act, Art. 6252-19, Vernons Texas Civil Statutes. Galveston contends that plaintiff-appellee did not comply with the mandatory notice provision of Galvestons city charter and failed to plead or present evidence at trial that Galveston received notice, actual or otherwise, of plaintiffs claim for damages. In its single point of error Galveston asserts that the trial court erred in rendering judgment for plaintiff on the verdict, inasmuch as Galvestons verified answer specifically denied receiving notice in accordance with its charter, and plaintiff had the burden of showing that Galveston had "actual notice" within the meaning of the Texas Tort Claims Act. We affirm.
