Texas: A Right-to-Work State
Texas is a right-to-work state, meaning that individuals are free to choose whether to join a labor union — but cannot be denied employment based on this choice. Both union and non-union members in the state of Texas have the same employment rights.
If you are being pressured to participate in a labor union-type of organization, or believe that you face retaliation for not accepting these conditions, you may have a case against your employer. Contact McDowell Wells for more information.

Texas Laws Regarding Termination
In Texas, an employee can be terminated for any reason, as long as that reason does not violate the law. For example, an employer can fire an employee if he or she does not like the employee. However, the employer cannot fire an employee on the basis of age, sex, race, religion, or national origin.
