negotiation process provided in Chapter 2260, Subchapter B, of the
Government Code. To initiate the process, the Performing Party shall
submit written notice, as required by Subchapter B, to the Director for

the Government Code is the Performing Party's sole and exclusive process
for seeking a remedy for an alleged breach of Contract by TDCJ if the

paragraph.

condition precedent to sue from the Legislature under Chapter 107 of the

by TDCJ nor any other conduct of any representative of TDCJ related to
the Contract shall be considered a waiver of sovereign immunity to suit.

the Performing Party shall comply with the rule published in the Texas
Administrative Code, Title 37, Public Safety and Corrections, Part VI, Texas
Department of Criminal Justice Chapter 155, Reports and Information Gathering,
