John Austin Burrus has filed a lawsuit against the City of Wichita Falls, alleging age discrimination following his termination after 35 years of service. The complaint, lodged in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, claims that Burrus was dismissed without prior disciplinary action or warning and was replaced by younger, less experienced individuals. Burrus asserts that his termination was timed to prevent him from applying for a vacant City Manager position. He seeks damages for lost wages, emotional distress, and other related losses under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and Chapter 21 of the Texas Labor Code.
