Morales v. Simuflite Training International

OPINION Appellant, David Morales (Morales), filed this wrongful termination suit alleging that Appellee, SimuFlite Training International, Inc. (SimuFlite), terminated his employment solely because he refused to commit an illegal act. SimuFlite moved for a summary judgment dismissing Morales's claims, which the trial court granted. In his sole issue on appeal, Morales argues that the trial court erred by granting SimuFlite's motion for summary judgment. SimuFlite raises a cross-issue urging this Court, if it reverses the summary judgment, to render judgment on the alternative relief requested in the motion for summary judgment. Because we hold the trial court erred by granting the motion for summary judgment and decline to address SimuFlite's cross-issue, we reverse and remand.
