Description

HOWELL, Justice. The City of Dallas (City) discharged Jesse Baca (Employee), a policeman, on March 22, 1985. Employee appealed his discharge to the City of Dallas Civil Service Trial Board. The trial board conducted a hearing, during which both Employee and City presented evidence and arguments. After the trial board upheld his discharge, Employee appealed to the district court. The district court denied Employees motion for a jury trial and refused to allow Employee to present evidence other than the statement of facts from the trial board hearing. The district court then sustained Employees discharge. Employee contends that he has a constitutional right to a jury trial and a right under the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution to present additional evidence in his appeal to the district court. Because we hold that neither the federal constitution nor the state constitution requires a jury trial in a case such as this and that all due process procedural requirements were met, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
