Description

Harris County appeals the trial courts judgment awarding Frank Vernagallo lost wages and attorneys fees under the Texas Whistleblower Act. In three issues, the County asserts that 1) the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the jurys finding that Vernagallo was terminated because he reported alleged illegal conduct; 2) the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the jurys finding that Vernagallo made a "good faith" report of alleged illegal conduct on January 15, 1998; and 3) the jurys finding--that the County would not have terminated Vernagallo based solely on information, observation, and evidence unrelated to his report--is against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence. We sustain the Countys legal sufficiency challenge to the evidence supporting causation, reverse, and render judgment that Vernagallo take nothing.
