Autozone, Inc., Petitioner v. Salvador Reyes, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and held that the evidence was legally insufficient to support the jury's finding that age was a motivating factor in Reyes's discharge. The Court explained that stray remarks by a manager not involved in the termination, disparate discipline of younger employees, and eligibility‑for‑rehire entries on termination reports did not satisfy the requirements for proving age discrimination under the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act.
