City of Sweetwater, Petitioners v. J. T. Geron, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the City of Sweetwater's ordinance establishing a maximum retirement age of 65 for police employees is valid and not preempted by the Firemen’s and Policemen’s Civil Service Act. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and affirmed the trial court’s judgment in favor of the City.
