Because Texas is an “employment at-will” state, an employer can fire an employee at any time for any lawful reason. Any lawful reason for termination may include a bad reason or no reason at all.
In Texas, an employer does not have to give a departing employee a termination notice or letter, or a letter of recommendation, based on a 1914 Texas Supreme Court ruling in the case of St. Louis Southwestern Railway Co. of Texas v. Griffin, 171 S.W.
How does state or federal law impact the process of terminating an employee in Texas? In Texas, employment is generally at-will, meaning an employee can be dismissed at any time and for any reason, as long as that reason isn't illegal under state or federal law.
Texas is an “at-will employment” state, meaning an employer has the legal right to dismiss an employee for any lawful reason. A lawful termination can thus be executed at any time, needless of prior notice.
For instance, it would be illegal for an employer to terminate an employee because of race, religion, age or disability discrimination or retaliation. Other examples would include terminating an employee because the employee disclosed she was pregnant, or because the employee made a workplace safety complaint.
