Correct. Texas is an employment at will State, meaning an employer can fire someone for any reason that does not violate Texas or federal law, or no reason at all.

Chas.
You point out that Texas in the a employment at will state and that this new law would prevent people from firing people for having a gun in the car, but what happens when they fire you with out reason or some bogus reason altogether? One of the advantages(from the employer side) of being an employment at will state is you can fire someone with out reason. I like the idea but it just seems like there is a loophole that is not in our favor.
