Claim Types
Outcome
The court granted defendant's motion to dismiss the Texas Whistleblower Act claim based on Eleventh Amendment sovereign immunity, finding that Texas has not waived state sovereign immunity in federal court. The court also dismissed plaintiff's request for punitive damages under Title VII, as the statute exempts government agencies from punitive damages liability.
