The Houston Office of the EEOC filed this action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The Defendant was Texas Coast Waffles, a restaurant chain. The controversy involved alleged harassment, retaliation and termination of the complainant based on her sex in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The lawsuit was filed in September 2004 and was resolved by consent decree in February 2006. The complainant, who did not intervene in the case, was awarded $10,000, a guarantee of no mention of the incident in her personnel file, and a guarantee of neutral reference. In addition, the company was required to provide training, to post a Notice, and to prohibit itself from hiring back the manager who allegedly harassed the complainant for the duration of the consent decree. The decree was to last for two years. The terms of the agreement were to run for 2 years. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
