Texas Employment Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

ADA + Disability Accommodation in Texas

Texas disabled employees are protected by the federal ADA (15+ employees) + state law — employers must engage in interactive process + provide reasonable accommodations unless undue hardship.

Age Discrimination in Texas

Texas workers age 40+ are protected by the federal ADEA + state law from age discrimination — but the Supreme Court's Gross v. FBL standard requires "but-for" causation, making cases harder than other discrimination claims.

At-Will Employment in Texas

Texas follows the at-will employment rule — either side can end employment for any reason or no reason. Texas recognizes the public policy exception.

Employee Handbook Disputes in Texas

Texas employee handbooks can create implied contracts limiting at-will employment — but proper disclaimers preserve at-will status. NLRA also restricts certain handbook policies for employees.

Equal Pay Law in Texas

Texas equal-pay law combines federal Equal Pay Act + Title VII with state-level pay-equity statutes — many of which are stronger than federal law (CA, NY, MA, WA, others).

FMLA and Family Leave in Texas

Federal FMLA gives eligible employees 12 weeks of UNPAID leave for qualifying family and medical reasons. Texas's state-level paid leave: None — federal FMLA only.

Hostile Work Environment in Texas

Texas hostile work environment claims require severe + pervasive conduct based on protected status — but post-2024 EEOC guidance has lowered some threshold standards.

Independent Contractor Misclassification in Texas

Texas worker classification: Federal economic-realities + state factors. Misclassification as independent contractor (1099) instead of employee (W-2) creates substantial liability for employers + lost rights for workers.

LGBTQ+ Employment Discrimination in Texas

Texas LGBTQ+ employment discrimination is illegal under federal Title VII (per Bostock v. Clayton County 2020) + many state laws — sexual orientation + gender identity protected as "sex" discrimination.

Minimum Wage in Texas

Texas minimum wage: $7.

Non-Compete Enforceability in Texas

Texas generally enforces well-drafted non-competes.

Non-Solicitation Agreements in Texas

Texas non-solicitation agreements: Enforceable; courts may reform overbroad agreements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be fired for no reason?

In most states employment is at-will, but you can't be fired for illegal reasons — discrimination, retaliation, or reporting wrongdoing. A lawyer can tell you if that applies to you.

Is there a deadline for employment claims?

Yes, and some are short — discrimination charges often must be filed with the EEOC within 180 or 300 days. Talk to a lawyer promptly.
