Nme Hospitals, Inc. D/b/a Sierra Medical Center, Petitioner v. Margaret A. Rennels, M.d., Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a plaintiff may sue under Texas Labor Code § 21.055 without a direct employer relationship if the defendant controlled access to the plaintiff's employment and interfered based on unlawful criteria, and therefore affirmed the appellate court's reversal of summary judgment on both the discrimination and civil conspiracy claims.
