Guthery v. Taylor

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding “Notice of Proposed Disciplinary Action” signed by chief of police did “not suffice as the ‘complaint’” where alleged conduct was damage to a citizen’s door witnessed only by the citizen herself
• borrowing definition from Local Government Code section 143.123(a)(1) governing municipal employees, based on similarity of statutes’ purpose and language
• ordering city to withdraw the disciplinary action and restore Guthery's position, along with back pay and benefits
• rendering judgment that city and police chief violated Subchapter B by failing to provide copies of signed “complaints” and ordering reinstatement of disciplined officer with back pay and benefits
• emphasizing the “complaint” against Officer Guthery was essentially a “Notice of Proposed Disciplinary Action” prepared by the Chief after a citizen made only a verbal complaint that Guthery damaged her front door when he knocked with his flashlight
