To the Honorable Judge of this Court:

Under Rule 28 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, appellant City of Krum, the
defendant in the above action, files this notice of accelerated appeal to the Second
Court of Appeals, Fort Worth, Texas.

Appellant desires to appeal from an interlocutory order entered in the above-styled and
numbered case by this court on October 14, 2015. Specifically, appellant is a
governmental unit appealing the court’s denial of the relief requested within Defendant’s
Plea to the Jurisdiction, Plea in Abatement, and Supporting Brief (filed August 17,
2015).

Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 51.014(b), this interlocutory appeal of a

appeal.

This appeal is accelerated under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 28.1(a)-(b) and
Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 51.014(a)(8).

Date: October 30, 2015.
                                            Respectfully submitted,
