Dallas County, Texas v. Autry

This is an interlocutory appeal of the trial courts order denying Dallas Countys motion to dismiss, motion for summary judgment, and plea to the jurisdiction. Reginald Autry filed a workers compensation retaliatory discharge claim against the County. After service of citation, the County filed an answer within thirty days of the suit denying the claim and requesting an abatement for Autry to give notice and present his claim to the commissioners court. Over a year and a half later, the County moved to dismiss the suit for Autrys failure to give notice under various statutes. We conclude we do not have jurisdiction over the interlocutory appeal and dismiss the appeal.
