Texas Court of Appeals, 12th District (Tyler) November 30, 1995, 12-94-00281-CV (Broom v. Brookshire Bros., Inc.)

HOLCOMB, Justice.

This is a suit for damages by an employee against her non-subscriber employer and for wrongful discharge. A jury found that Brookshire Brothers, Inc. (“BBI”) was not negligent, but that it had discharged Jennie L. Broom (“Broom”) because she refused to sign a release for job-related personal injuries. As a result, the jury awarded her $27,806.51 for mental anguish.
