Latest Decisions & Cases

Harris County v. Dogan

September 16, 2021

The First Court of Appeals (Houston) dismissed the appeal for want of jurisdiction. The Court found that Plaintiff-Employee's failure to timely file with the Division the proposed judgment that was actually signed by the court rendered the trial court's judgment void.

APD 211091-s

September 10, 2021

The Appeals Panel reversed the Administrative Law Judge's decision that the certification of maximum medical improvement became final. The Appeals Panel found that there was compelling evidence of a significant error in applying the AMA Guides. Specifically, the Appeals Panel determined that impairments in the same lower extremity part must be added rather than combined. This decision overturned prior Appeals Panel decisions.

Phillips v. Texas Department of Insurance - Division of Workers' Compensation

August 31, 2021

The Fifth Court of Appeals (Dallas) dismissed Plaintiff-Employee's appeal finding that neither an order denying a motion to appoint counsel nor a motion for discovery is an appealable interlocutory order that confers jurisdiction on the Court.

Williams v. City of Richardson

August 31, 2021

The Fifth Court of Appeals (Dallas) affirmed the lower court's judgment that Plaintiff-Employee did not sustain a compensable injury. The Court concluded that (1) there was more than a scintilla of evidence supporting the trial court’s implied findings, and (2) the trial court’s implied findings were not so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong or unjust.

Wheeler v. Free

August 26, 2021

The Eleventh Court of Appeals (Eastland) affirmed the lower court's summary judgment dismissing Plaintiff-Employee's suit against Defendant-Employer. The Court found that the Defendant-Employer's act of merely paying a travel reimbursement to Plaintiff-Employee did not place the Plaintiff-Employee within the course and scope of employment. Further, the Court found the Defendant-Employer owed no duty for Plaintiff-Employee's off-duty acts.

APD 211085

August 25, 2021

The Appeals Panel reformed the decision because the Administrative Law Judge failed to modify the disability issue as agreed to by the parties.
