Case: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center V. Wang, No. 01-23-00911-CV, 2024 WL 2853698 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] June 6, 2024) (Mem. Op.)
If you or someone you care about feels like they are being discriminated against at work the way the plaintiff in this case felt, our New Mexico work discrimination lawyer is available for a free consultation to discuss your situation.
The Short Story
A notice of non‑renewal included an internal appeal option. The employee argued the deadline to file a discrimination charge should run later.
What The Court Decided
The 180‑day deadline to file under Chapter 21 starts when you get clear notice of the decision (like non‑renewal). Internal appeals don’t pause or extend that clock.
What This Means For Texas Employees
Move fast. Mark your calendar for 180 days from the first clear notice. File the charge even if you’re pursuing an internal appeal. If you would like to speak to a skilled and compassionate lawyer, reach out to Davie & Valdez P.C. We offer free consultations and work on a contingency basis. If we don’t win, you do not have to pay us anything.
