Appellant
Shakazulu Assegai, VII, pro se, appeals from the
dismissal of his claims against the State of Texas.  Appellant=s petition below and appellate brief in this Court include
various allegations regarding the slave trade, discrimination since his birth
in 1945, and the Ku Klux Klan.  Because
he sued the State of Texas for monetary damages of $28 million,[1]
he was required to allege legislative consent. 
See Federal Sign v. Texas Southern University, 951 S.W.2d 401,
405 (Tex. 1997).  He did not, and the
trial court granted the State=s plea to the jurisdiction asserting sovereign immunity.  
On
appeal, appellant presents no argument or authorities establishing any such
waiver.  Accordingly, the judgment is
affirmed.
