RICHARDSON, Texas — Texans Insurance Group said it is currently reviewing its options following a July 8 arbitration final hearing that concluded one of its CUSO staffers was wrongly terminated in April 2007 and is entitled to back pay.

At issue is Kevin M. Curley, a former president of Curley Insurance Group LLC, which was bought by $2 billion Texans Credit Union in January 2007. The conglomerate of companies became Texans Insurance Group with Curley remaining on staff. Curley was fired in April 2007 and filed a claim against the CUSO citing the termination breached a three-year employment agreement that was to end on Dec. 31, 2009. After hearing both sides, on July 8, a Texas arbitrator ruled in favor of Curley saying he was entitled to his job back and back pay and benefits.

Texans Insurance Group said "due to the nature of the arbitration process and the fact that there are still pending matters awaiting resolution, Texans Insurance Group cannot comment on the facts or issues in the employment dispute."
