Frequently Asked Employment Law Questions

Employment matters are often personal, urgent, and complex. Here are answers to some common questions that may help you better understand your rights and responsibilities:

What constitutes wrongful termination?
Texas is an at-will employment state, but you may still have a valid claim if you were fired for discriminatory reasons, retaliation, or for refusing to commit an illegal act.

Can I be held to a non-compete agreement?
Non-compete agreements in Texas must be reasonable in scope, duration, and geography. We can evaluate whether your non-compete is enforceable and advise you on your options.

What should I do if I experience harassment at work?
Document all incidents and report the behavior according to your employer’s internal complaint procedures. If your employer fails to act, legal action may be appropriate.

What if I’m not paid properly?
