OPINION

YVONNE T. RODRIGUEZ, Justice.

The Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (“DADS”) seeks interlocutory review of the trial court’s order denying its plea to the jurisdiction in an employment discrimination case. In one issue, Appellant argues that the trial court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over a former employee’s claims because she had failed to fully exhaust her administrative remedies with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) before filing civil suit. We dismiss for lack of a justiciable controversy.
