Greathouse v. Alvin Independent School District
Texas Court of Appeals, 1st District (Houston)
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
TIM TAFT, Justice.
Appellant, Doug Greathouse, challenges a no-evidence summary judgment ren dered in favor of appellee, Alvin Independent School District (Alvin ISD), against his claim of wrongful discharge based on racial discrimination. We address whether Greathouse established a prima facie case of racial discrimination, whether Alvin ISD proved a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for the alleged discriminatory treatment,' and whether Greathouse brought forward some evidence showing that Alvin ISD’s reasons were a pretext for a discriminatory motive. We reverse.
