Description
Per Curiam International Association of Firefighters, Local Union No. 936 and two of its members, Jim Sauceda and J. D. Lopez, sued to require the City Manager and the Fire Chief of Corpus Christi to promote Sauceda and Lopez to the rank of fire captain. The trial court granted the relief. The Court of Civil Appeals reversed the judgment of the trial court and rendered judgment dissolving the order. We reverse the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals and render judgment for petitioners. On May 17, 1978, an examination was given to ten persons for the position of fire captain in the Corpus Christi Fire Department. Only three passed the test, and their names were posted on the promotional eligibility roster in the following rank order: (1) R. C. Garza, (2) Jim Sauceda, and (3) J. D. Lopez. At the time of the examination there were nine authorized vacancies for fire captain. The longest-standing vacancy occurred in December, 1977, and the next oldest vacancies occurred on February 2, 1978 and February 4, 1978.
