Texas Supreme Court
Eric Wilson, and John Cornyn v. Mary Andrews
December 23, 199943 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 220
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that Chapter 143, including subsection 143.057(d) of the Texas Local Government Code, governs the City of Lubbock's civil service system, granting Eric Wilson the right to arbitration before a neutral hearing examiner; it affirmed Lubbock's standing to raise constitutional claims but rejected those claims, and found the arbitration provision neither unconstitutionally vague nor an improper delegation of authority. Justice Hecht filed a concurring opinion noting a different view on the nondelegation argument.
