Gabrelle Navar-rete, a former employee of El Paso County, alleged sex discrimination and retaliation after her position was eliminated and she was not rehired.

Later, in her amended petition filed in district court, she added retaliation claims, asserting her involvement in a co-worker's sexual harassment complaint and her initial EEOC filing were motivating factors for her termination. El Paso County filed a plea to the jurisdiction, arguing Navar-rete failed to exhaust her administrative remedies regarding the retaliation claims. The appellate court reversed the trial court's denial of the plea, holding that the retaliation claims were not part of the initial administrative charge and thus the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to consider them.
