Fort Worth Transportation Authority v. Thomas
Court of Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
ANNE GARDNER, Justice.
Introduction
Appellants Fort Worth Transportation Authority (FWTA) and McDonald Transit, Inc. appeal the trial court’s order granting appellee Ricky C. Thomas’s motion for summary judgment in this breach of contract case. In two issues, appellants contend that the trial court improperly granted Thomas’s summary judgment motion because he failed to exhaust contractual remedies before filing his lawsuit and because a collective bargaining agreement unambiguously permitted the termination of his employment. We affirm.
