Try CasePortal for FreePer curiam, the Fifth Circuit, in this interlocutory appeal, finds the district court improperly denied the county’s motion for summary judgment in the suit alleging violations of the Texas Wiretap Act brought by the county jail inmate. A non-lawyer employee of the county attorney’s office inadvertently listened to a call between the inmate and his attorney involving an investigation into inmate treatment. The county asserts governmental immunity, while the district court found the Act waives immunity. Though the word “person” as used in the Act in reference to waivers of immunity could be construed to apply to government entities, another section of the act disclaims this interpretation, so it should be understood to maintain immunity. Reversed and dismissed with prejudice.
