Employers in Texas cannot refuse to hire you based on your race, gender, age or a number of other characteristics. Federal and state laws safeguard the right to work and if you believe you have encountered discrimination in the workplace — whether as an employee or as a job seeker — it is important to speak with an experienced lawyer about your legal rights.
At the Law Offices of Carlos E. Hernandez, Jr., P.C., in Edinburg and Brownsville, attorney Carlos Hernandez has nearly 15 years of experience representing clients who have been harmed by employment discrimination. If you are concerned about actions by your employer for reporting discrimination, you need to know that the law also protects employees from that type of retaliation, including wrongful termination.

Our firm has the experience to handle cases involving discrimination on the basis of:

Discrimination can take many forms. Inappropriate jokes and comments, passing over an applicant for a job or an employee for a promotion, and firing or otherwise sanctioning an employee based on one of the above characteristics may all be forms of discrimination.
If you have suffered due to these and other kinds of treatment that could be considered discrimination, we advise you to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
