                    JIMMIE LEE JONES JUNIOR, Appellee

             On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 4
                           Harris County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 1158605

        MEMORANDUM CONCURRING OPINION

      I agree with the court’s judgment affirming the denial of the city’s motion
for summary judgment. I do not join the majority opinion, however, because I do
not agree with the court’s discussion and analysis of the good faith issue. Instead, I
would hold that a genuine and material fact question exists as to whether Sergeant
Kim was engaged in a discretionary duty. It is unnecessary to address the good
faith element of official immunity in this case. For these reasons, I concur in the
judgment only.

                                      /s/       Kevin Jewell

Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Spain, and Hassan. (Hassan, J., majority)
