The court of appeals reversed the trial court's denial of UTA's plea to jurisdiction, finding that Shaw failed to present direct evidence of race discrimination and failed to establish pretext under the McDonnell Douglas framework, thereby eliminating the jurisdictional basis for her Texas Labor Code Chapter 21 discrimination claim.
