In a significant ruling, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed a longstanding Title VII discrimination standard, broadening the scope of employee claims in Texas. The decision, which came on August 18, 2023, aligns the Fifth Circuit with other U.S. circuit courts and Supreme Court rulings. Previously, the court had applied the "ultimate employment decision" standard to Title VII disparate treatment discrimination claims, limiting the types of discrimination that could be considered. However, this ruling makes it harder for employers in Texas to have discrimination.
