                                        JUDGMENT

       The Court has considered this cause on the record and concludes there was error in the trial

court’s order denying Appellant’s plea to the jurisdiction. We therefore reverse the trial court’s

order denying Appellant’s plea to the jurisdiction and render judgment dismissing Appellee’s

retaliation claim under chapter 451 of the Texas Labor Code.

       We further order that Appellant recover from Appellee the appellate costs incurred by

Appellant, for which let execution issue. This decision shall be certified below for observance.

       IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 25TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2021.

                                             GINA M. PALAFOX, Justice
