MEMORANDUM Opinion

          In this interlocutory appeal, we have reviewed the trial court’s denial of a plea to the jurisdiction filed by the City of Waco against claims brought by David Wright and Janet Key arising out of the deaths of two children, who drowned in a drainage culvert and tunnel constructed and maintained by the City.  We affirm the denial of the City’s plea.  City of Tyler v.
