Texas is an employment at-will state. This means that absent a statute or an express agreement (i.e. an employment contract) providing otherwise, the employer or employee may terminate or modify the employment relationship for any reason or no reason at all.
Of all developed countries the US have by far the worst worker protections. Which has of course nothing at all to do with democracy having been usurped by the oligarchy.

Welcome to Capitalism!
It does exactly what it was meant to do by those who set the rules for our society.
