Description
This is a civil service suit for damages growing out of an alleged wrongful discharge of three police officers. The issue presented is whether under the Dallas City Charter, the City Manager and City Civil Service Board can increase the punishment assessed by the Police Chief in disciplinary actions, when those actions are appealed to the City Manager. The trial court held that neither the City Manager nor the Board had authority to increase the punishment given by the Police Chief. Sitting en banc, the court of appeals reversed, with three judges dissenting. 691 S.W.2d 827. We reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
