County of El Paso, Texas v. Monique Aguilar ( 2020 )

COURT OF APPEALS
EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
EL PASO, TEXAS
COUNTY OF EL PASO, TEXAS, §
No. 08-19-00082-CV
Appellant, §
Appeal from the
v. §
327th District Court
MONIQUE AGUILAR, §
of El Paso County, Texas
Appellee. §
(TC# 2016-DCV-2806)
JUDGMENT
The Court has considered this cause on the record and concludes there was error in that
part of the judgment denying Appellant’s plea to the jurisdiction challenging Appellee’s claims
for sex discrimination based on disparate treatment, insofar as that claim is based on disparate
treatment as between Appellee and comparators Arenas or Montes, and in that part of the judgment
denying Appellant’s plea to the jurisdiction challenging Appellee’s claim for retaliation for
engaging in opposition to disparate treatment. We therefore reverse those parts of the trial court’s
judgment and dismiss those claims for lack of jurisdiction, in accordance with the opinion of this
Court. The remainder of the trial court’s judgment is affirmed as modified.
We further order that Appellant and its sureties, if any, and Appellee each pay one-half
(1/2) the appellate costs, for which let execution issue. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.5. This decision
shall be certified below for observance.
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 19TH DAY OF MARCH, 2020.
