law-judicial admission
Pleadings are ordinarily not considered competent summary judgment evidence. Laidlaw Waste Sys.
(Dallas), Inc. v. City of Wilmer, 904 S.W.2d 656, 660 (Tex. 1995). An exception exists for judicial admissions
in an opponent's pleadings. Lyons v. Lindsey Morden Claims Mgmt., Inc., 985 S.W.2d 86, 92 (Tex. App.- El
Paso 1998, no pet.) (if a party's pleadings contain judicial admissions negating a cause of action, summary
judgment may be granted on the basis of those pleadings).
Subject-matter jurisdiction cannot be conferred by judicial admission. In re A.C.S., 157 S.W.3d 9, 15 (Tex.
App.-Waco 2004, no pet.).08-0708
