Understanding Employment Disputes in Texas

Key insights for protecting rights and relationships

Texas is an at-will employment state, which means either party can terminate the relationship at any time unless restricted by a contract. However, exceptions exist for discrimination, retaliation, and violations of employment laws. For Houston businesses, having clear policies and well-drafted agreements can reduce the likelihood of disputes and strengthen your legal position.



For employees, understanding your rights and documenting workplace issues are critical when raising claims. At Lindholm Law, we provide guidance for both sides, focusing on practical solutions that balance legal obligations and professional integrity. Our goal is to resolve disputes quickly while minimizing disruption to your business or career.
