City of Desoto, Texas, Petitioner v. Justin White, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the notice provision in Tex. Local Gov't Code §143.057(a) is mandatory but not jurisdictional, so the City’s failure to include the waiver language did not deprive the hearing examiner of jurisdiction; the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings, ordering an abatement remedy to allow the officer a new election with full notice.
