Johnson & Johnson Medical, Inc. F/k/a Surgikos, Inc., Petitioner v. Martha Sanchez, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that there is a genuine issue of fact as to when Martha Sanchez received unequivocal notice of her termination, so the appellate court's judgment on her article 8307c wrongful‑termination claim was affirmed and the claim remanded for further proceedings. The Court also held that Sanchez presented no evidence of the reliance element of her fraud claim, thus reversing the appellate court on that claim and entering judgment for Johnson & Johnson on fraud. Justice Owen dissented in part, arguing the wrongful‑termination claim is time‑barred.
