Graywolf is correct if we're talking about the state of Texas (one can't
sue a sovereign entity unless one has that entity's permission which
takes an act of the Texas legislature), but I'm not sure Graywolf is
correct if we're talking about a city in Texas, for I don't think a
Texas city is a sovereign state. Also, I don't think one can't sue a
officer of the court (judge, district attorney, bailiff, etc.) in Texas
unless one has the permission of the Texas legislature. So, in my
opinion, the arresting officer and the city's police dept. are
vulnerable, but the officer is not as good a candidate to sue compared
to the city, because probably the city has deeper pockets than the
arresting officer.
