The number and scope of laws regulating employment has grown steadily over the past

several decades. While some areas of labor and employment law are governed exclusively by

federal law, others are covered by supplemental (or overlapping) state laws, and a handful are

exclusively of state or even local concern.

This booklet provides a basic overview of Texas employment laws. It is organized into

four primary sections: 1) the employment relationship; 2) wages and hours; 3) employment

discrimination; and 4) workplace safety. Citations to the Texas Labor Code are provided for each

law discussed, if applicable.
