HOUSTON – A Harris County man alleges his former employer made false and defamatory statements regarding him.

David Theis filed a complaint on July 13 in the Harris County District Court against IGT Holdings LLC, TRS Services LLC and Thomas Nugent alleging defamation and libel.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks actual and exemplary damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, attorney's fees, costs and all other relief to which he is entitled. He is represented by Neil E. Giles and Jeffrey T. Bentch of Hall Maines Lugrin PC in Houston.
