MAUZY, Justice,
dissenting.
Once again, the court sides with the government and against the individual, depriving an injured party of the relief to which a jury found he was entitled. I dissent.
The Texas Constitution guarantees every injured individual a remedy by due course of law, Tex. Const, art. I, §§ 13 and 19, as well as the right to a trial by jury, Tex. Const, art. I, § 15. Today’s decision violates both of those guarantees.
I would affirm the judgment of the court of appeals, which reinstated the jury’s verdict, for the reasons stated in its opinion.
