A program review specialist for the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) could not establish disability discrimination or retaliation when she was fired a year after her request to work remotely due to medical issues, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled.
The plaintiff began working for TDA in June 2012 in the Food and Nutrition Division, where she audited participants in the Child and Adult Food Care Program and Summer Food Service Program, which receive federal funding.
