                                        JUDGMENT

       The Court has considered this cause on the record and concludes the trial court’s judgment

should be reversed in part and affirmed and remanded in part. The portion of the trial court’s

judgment denying the State’s plea to the jurisdiction with respect to Appellee’s two retaliation

claims is reversed and we order those claims dismissed. The judgment of the trial court denying

the State’s plea to the jurisdiction with respect to Appellee’s age-discrimination claim is affirmed

and remanded to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with the opinion of this Court.

       We further order that each party shall bear their own cost of appeal, for which let execution

issue. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.5. This decision shall be certified below for observance.

       IT IS ORDERED THIS 15TH DAY OF MARCH, 2023.
