TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
JUDGMENT RENDERED DECEMBER 18, 2015
NO. 03-14-00112-CV
Dr. James Jones, Appellant
v.
Angelo State University, Appellee
APPEAL FROM 340TH DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY
BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE, JUSTICES GOODWIN AND FIELD
AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED AND REMANDED IN PART –
OPINION BY JUSTICE FIELD
This is an appeal from the judgment signed by the trial court on November 27, 2014. Having
reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was reversible error in
the trial court’s judgment. Therefore, the Court reverses the portion of the trial court’s judgment
granting summary judgment on appellant’s failure-to-accommodate claim, and remands that
portion to the trial court for further proceedings. However, the Court affirms the portion of the
trial court’s judgment dismissing appellant’s claim of discriminatory discharge based on
disparate treatment. Each party shall pay the costs of appeal incurred by that party, both in this
Court and the court below.
