OPINION
Opinion by
Justice WHITTINGTON.
The City of Lancaster, Texas filed a petition for declaratory judgment, seeking to set aside the hearing examiner’s award reinstating firefighter David Clopton’s employment. The trial judge granted summary judgment affirming the hearing examiner’s award in favor of Clopton. In two issues, the City contends (i) Texas Local Government Code section 143.057(j) is unconstitutional and (ii) a fact issue exists as to whether the hearing examiner exceeded the scope of his jurisdiction or unlawfully rendered the award. 1 We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
