On Motions for Rehearing.
Appellees have each filed motion for rehearing attacking each of our holdings separately, and we have concluded that one of such attacks must be sustained.
Appellees Dallas County Flood Control District, John M. Stemmons, Albert Hagman, T. C. Forrest, Jr., and Ray A. Foley assert that the trial court did not err in granting the motion for summary judgment of the Directors and the General Manager of the Flood Control District since they were acting in their official capacities as such Directors, General Manager and Trustees. The same contention is made by R. C. Griffith, Robert H. Jones, Jr., and Charles W. Roberts, Supervisors of the City and County of Dallas Levee Improvement District, and by Karl Bruton, one of the supervisors of Dallas County Levee Improvement District No. 5. In such contention they are correct. Dallas County Flood Control District v. Fowler, Tex.Civ.App., 280 S.W.2d 336.
The motions for rehearing of John M. Stemmons, Albert Hagman, T. C. Forrest, Jr., Ray A. Foley, R. C. Griffith, Robert H. Jones, Jr., Charles W. Roberts and Karl Bruton are sustained, and as to said individual appellees the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
The motions for rehearing of Dallas County Flood Control District, City and County of Dallas Levee Improvement District, and Dallas County Levee Improvement District No. 5 are overruled.
