In Texas an employer can require an employee to work more than forty hours in a workweek unless the employee works under a contract that limits hours or the employee works in a job that is limited by law from working beyond a set number of hours. If you do not work under a contract that limits your hours then you are probably at the mercy of your employer's demand to work overtime. Private security agents are not limited by law in hours worked. You do not have to work the overtime if you want to risk losing your job; but if you do work the hours you must be paid appropriately.
