CITY OF HOUSTON, PETITIONER, v. SHAYN A. PROLER, RESPONDENT

The plaintiff appeals in this case alleging disability discrimination by a city. the record shows that the plaintiff, a firefighter, was reassigned because the city perceived him as unable to perform his specific job as a captain of a firefighting crew. There is no evidence that the city reassigned him because it perceived him as unable to perform a major life activity such as walking, thinking, or working in general, due to an underlying mental or physical disorder. The court of appeals judgment remains in effect but is reversed and remanded in part and rendered in part. Texas Supreme Court, No. 12-1006, 06-06-2014
