Description
Section 21.051 of the Texas Labor Code makes it unlawful for an employer to discharge an employee because of disability. As relevant to this case, disability is defined as having a "physical impairment that substantially limits at least one major life activity . . . or being regarded as having such an impairment." The issue here is whether there is any evidence that respondents physical impairments - carpal tunnel syndrome and lower back pain - substantially limited a major life activity, specifically, work. Assuming that work is a major life activity within the meaning of the statute, we conclude that there is no evidence of substantial limitation. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and render judgment for petitioner.
