Description
Section 143.134(h) of the Texas Local Government Code imposes a $1,000 penalty payable to an aggrieved fire fighter for each day a department head intentionally fails to implement a decision of the Fire Fighters' and Police Officers' Civil Service Commission (the "Commission") under Section 143.131 or a decision of a hearing examiner under Section 143.129 that has become final. TEX. LOC. GOV'TCODE§ 143.134(h). The court of appeals held that the penalty provision also applies to a grievance examiner's unappealed recommendation under Section 143.130 of the Code. 135 S.W.3d 891. We hold that, by the provision's plain language, it does not. Accordingly, we reverse the court of appeals' judgment and dismiss Jackson's statutory penalty claim for want of jurisdiction.
