FAQ
A company does not have to provide you with a severance if it does a lay off or reduction in force. It simply does not have to, it is always a courtesy. Companies do it because the labor market is competitive, and lay offs will make it into some kind of publication if the company is old enough or large enough.
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.
If an employee still has company property at the time of separation, an employer may only withhold or deduct wages if they are authorized to do so by law, required to do so by a court, or have written consent from the employee to do so.

Texas has no state income tax withholding. In general, workers are covered by the unemployment law of the state in which the work is performed.
It makes no difference how long you've been with a company so yes, it's legal to lay off any and everyone without severance. The exceptions: a union agreement requiring severance, a personal contract calling for a severance. This is usually only for executives and ``key'' people.
Employers are not legally required to offer severance during layoffs, but many choose to do so to maintain goodwill and ease the transition for their former employees. If you are offered a severance agreement, remember that you don't have to sign it right away.
