Syllabus

This opinion addresses the Business Court's jurisdiction over an employment discrimination case brought pursuant to Section 21.051 of the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act. Defendant filed a removal notice asserting the Business Court had subject matter jurisdiction based on Texas Government Code Section 25A.004(b)(2) as \an action regarding\ the \internal affairs of an organization\ and Section 25A.004(d)(1) as an action arising out of a \qualified transaction.\ The Business Court here finds that it lacks jurisdiction of Plaintiff's employment discrimination action under either provision and remands the case to the originating district court.
