Van Independent School District, Petitioner v. Scott A. McCarty, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the district court lacked subject‑matter jurisdiction because McCarty failed to exhaust administrative remedies; the Board’s hearing did not waive the statutory deadline. The Court also affirmed its jurisdiction to hear the interlocutory appeal because the appellate decision conflicted with its prior decision in Wilmer‑Hutchins.
