Description

Juanita Fletcher brought this action against her former employer, the City of Houston, and her former supervisor, Susan McMillian. Fletcher asserted age discrimination claims against the City under the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act (TCHRA). TEX. LAB. CODE ANN. § 21.001 et seq. (Vernon 1996 & Supp. 2004 - 2005). She alleged an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim against McMillian. The jury found (1) that the City had subjected Fletcher to a hostile work environment based upon her age, (2) that the City had discriminated against Fletcher based upon her age, and (3) that the City had terminated Fletcher based upon her age. With respect to Fletchers claims against the City, the jury awarded $90,000.00 in past lost wages, $69,000.00 in diminishment in future wages, and $100,000.00 in past mental anguish damages. The jury also awarded attorneys fees. The jury also found in Fletchers favor on her intentional infliction of emotional distress claim against McMillian. On the intentional infliction of emotional distress claim, the jury awarded $100,000.00 in compensatory damages and $64,000.00 in exemplary damages. The trial court entered judgment in accordance with the jurys verdict. The City and McMillian appeal the judgment. For the reasons stated, we modify the trial courts judgment against the City and affirm the judgment as modified, and we reverse the trial courts judgment against McMillian and render judgment that Fletcher take nothing on her claims against McMillian.
