Description
This appeal arose under chapter 143 of the Texas Local Government Code, entitled "Municipal Civil Service." See TEX. LOC. GOVT CODE ANN. §Â§ 143.001-143.089 (Vernon 1988 & Supp. 1994). It was brought by a police officer who was (1) indefinitely suspended by his chief; (2) temporarily suspended and placed on probation by the citys civil service commission after he appealed to that body; (3) fired by the chief because he appealed to the district court; (4) permanently dismissed by the commission after the proceeding was remanded to it by the district court; and (5) denied relief by the district court after hearings on the two civil service commission orders. Because we decide that the district court improperly remanded the proceeding, that the commission had no jurisdiction to issue a second decision, and that the commission exceeded its authority in placing the officer on probation, we will remand with instructions that he be reinstated and awarded back pay and attorneys fees.
