    If Texas is an at-will state, you can be terminated for ay reason whatsoever. Your argument will help you get unemployment, but not comepnsation for termination.

    You can go to the Equal Employment Oppurtunity Commission, and start a case, and get unemployment. But it doesn't take much in Texas, a right to work state, to get fired. You have a right to file a lawsuit, but it takes money, or civil court.
