Case Summary

The EEOC's Houston district office sued TIG Capital Securities Company on September 25, 2003 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas.

The parties entered into a consent decree on August 31, 2004, which stipulated that the defendant would pay the complainant $5,382.50 in damages, post a notice of compliance with Title VII, provide Title VII training to its managers in Houston, and provide a neutral reference for the complainant.
