Most termination clauses are an agreement between the employer and the employee that in the event the employer elects to dismiss the employee without cause, the employee will only receive what they are entitled to under the Employment Standards Code.
The following is a list of some common reasons for denial: Voluntarily leaving work without good cause. Being discharged for misconduct connected with work. Not being able to work or available for work. Refusing an offer of suitable work. Knowingly making false statements to obtain benefit payments.
Filing a Complaint The Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division (TWCCRD) Employment Discrimination Inquiry Submission System (EDISS) is the method to submit your employment discrimination complaint. It provides an ample amount of space to describe how you have been discriminated against.

You may be eligible for benefits if you were fired for reasons other than misconduct. Examples of misconduct that could make you ineligible include violation of company policy, violation of law, neglect or mismanagement of your position, or failure to perform your work adequately if you are capable of doing so.
If you're fired for cause, which it sounds like you will be, then they don't need to give you severance. Normally companies will give something to avoid getting sued for wrongful dismissal, because normally there are steps they need to take in order to avoid those kinds of lawsuits.
Layoffs are due to lack of work, not your work performance, so you may be eligible for benefits. For example, the employer has no more work available, has eliminated your position, or has closed the business.
