Texas Supreme Court
Collingsworth General Hospital and Texas Employment Commission, Petitioners v. Fredonia Hunnicutt, Respondent
June 25, 199841 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1018
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that Fredonia Hunnicutt's off‑duty assault constituted misconduct connected with her last work, so the Texas Employment Commission's denial of unemployment benefits was supported by substantial evidence. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the denial, while a dissent argued the opposite.
