Maria Cantu was a special education teacher under a one-year contract with the San Benito School district for the 1990–1991 school year. On Saturday, August 18, just weeks before fall-term classes were to begin, she hand delivered a letter of resignation to her supervisor. Late Monday afternoon the superintendent put in the mail a properly stamped and addressed letter to Cantu accepting her offer of resignation. The next morning at 8:00, before the superintendent’s letter reached her, Cantu hand delivered a letter withdrawing her resignation. The superintendent refused to recognize the attempted rescission of the resignation. Decide. [Cantu v. Central Education Agency, 884 S.W.2d 563 (Tex. App.)]

Sagot :

According to the Mailbox Rule, Cantu's resignation was deemed accepted when the mail was posted and not when she received it.

What were the facts of Cantu v. Central Education Agency?

After delivering her resignation letter, Cantu sought to rescind the resignation with another withdrawal letter.

Before the withdrawal, however, the Education Supervisor had already accepted her resignation and mailed the acceptance through the post.

The mailbox rule states that acceptance is valid when communicated through the post, at the postal point, and not when received by the recipient.

Thus, the superintendent's decision to refuse the attempted rescission of Cantu's resignation, based on the mailbox rule, is legally binding and upheld.
