This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree Deakins discusses San Antonio Water System v. Nicholas, in which the Supreme Court of Texas held that a plaintiff claiming she was terminated because of her opposition to a colleague's persistent and unwelcome lunch invitations made to other employees was not protected from retaliation under the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act (TCHRA) law. The court concluded that the evidence was not sufficient to establish that the plaintiff had engaged in protected activity. Specifically, the Texas Supreme Court held that no reasonable person would believe lunch invitations amounted to sexual harassment actionable under the TCHRA.
