EDELMAN, Justice,
concurring.
PALICO was granted summary judgment in this case on the ground that Price failed tó file a complaint with the TCHR as required by the Texas Labor Code. It was therefore PALICO’s burden to establish as a matter of law that no complaint was filed with TCHR. I concur with the majority opinion that the evidence presented by PALICO did not conclusively establish that no such filing took place.
However, Price did not move for summary judgment that she had made such a filing as a matter of law, and it is not necessary or proper for us to reach that issue in order to determine that PALICO’s summary judgment was in error. Therefore, I disagree with the finding in the majority opinion that “appellant has complied with the requirements of filing a complaint with TCHR as set out in Section 21.201, Texas Labor Code.”
