Mission Independent School District v. Diserens

Talented music teacher Ethel Diserens (defendant) contracted to teach for the Mission Independent School District (Mission) (plaintiff) for one year, agreeing not to teach in any other Texas school district during that period; on her very first day, she asked to be released from the contract, was refused, quit anyway, and went to work for another Texas district. Mission sued to enjoin her from working for the other district, but the trial court held Mission suffered no injury from the breach and denied the injunction; the court of appeals affirmed, and Mission appealed again.
