No advance notice of termination or resignation is required. If advance notice of resignation is given, it can be accepted, rejected, or modified by the employer.
Texas employers are not required to offer severance payments to employees they lay off or terminate, unless there is a specific employment contract or company policy requiring the payments.
Under Texas law, good cause is the employee's failure to perform the duties that a person of ordinary prudence in the industry would perform under similar circumstances.
