The government lied to Patricia Mosley about how to properly appeal a decision barring her from working as a home health aide, and this morning the Texas Supreme Court ruled that the government’s actions violated her due process rights. Mosley is a nurse who was placed on an “Employee Misconduct Registry” maintained by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services. In an official letter sent to Mosley, the department misstated the procedure to appeal this decision. After Mosley followed the letter’s instructions, she was informed that her appeal had not been filed properly and that she had no further recourse in the law. This effectively barred Mosley from her job.
