It is employment at will in Texas which means that the employer can fire an employee for any reason. However, there are certain things an employer cannot do, such as discriminate based upon race, sex, disability, religious preference, national origin, etc. If your wife thinks she has a claim, she should consult a local lawyer to evaluate it.
