Description
Appellants Mark Trostle and Carroll Draper appeal from the take-nothing summary judgment rendered against their claims that the appellees damaged them while demoting them at the Texas Department of Agriculture ("the Department"). Trostle and Draper contend that they were deprived of property interests, liberty interests, and due process by appellees acting in the following capacities: Susan Combs, Commissioner of Agriculture and in her individual capacity; Donnie Dippel, Kathy Reed, Sara Jo Snodgrass, Raette Hearne, Charlie Thomas, Larry Beauchamp, and Martin Hubert, in their official and individual capacities; and Lisa Woods and Karen Macomb, in their official capacities. Trostle and Draper contend that Combs slandered them per quod and per se, that several appellees intentionally inflicted emotional distress upon them, and that the appellees conspired to inflict emotional distress and humiliation upon them. Appellees moved for summary judgment, contending that their actions are protected by the at-will employment doctrine and do not violate the constitution or any of the laws alleged. The court granted the motion without stating a basis. We will affirm the judgment.
