The basic rule of Texas employment law is employment at will, which applies to all phases of the employment relationship - it means that absent a statute or an express agreement (such as an employment contract) to the contrary, either party in an employment relationship may modify any of the terms or conditions of employment, or terminate the relationship altogether, for any reason, or no particular reason at all, with or without advance notice.

It's a damm shame but a employer has the right to fire a person if they refuse to get the Covid shot.
Attorney Rogge Dunn, longtime labor attorney with the Rogge Dunn Group of Dallas, said it is perfectly legal for an employer to require employees to get a vaccine.

I could understand there being precedent for FDA approved vaccines. I don't understand how there is any precedent for a drug being pushed under EUA that is undergoing clinical trials with many adverse reactions being credibly reported - including death. Seems like the right lawyers need to get in front of the right judge to set a precedent. .

And an employee has the right to resign if they don't want to get the shot.

This is all going to come to a screeching holt when the first employee dies or is seriously injured from one of these injections.......remember the employee is NOT waiving their right for damages from the employer, it's the drug company.......

The way I see it they waived their right for damages from the employer the moment they voluntarily took the shot.

I agree something needs to happen but more than 100 workers at Houston Methodist sued over the hospital’s COVID vaccine mandate and they lost.When will all this end ...

Does the employer require shot records and up to date boosters? Correct me if am wrong that a group of people that do not take shots ( vaccinated ) for many long standing illness. this seam to picking on one type of vaccinated illness, could an employer refuse to hire a women for not be vaccinated for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). at age 12? this is said to result in some types of cancers. Did the governor of Texas at one time ask to get this done for school age teens? Odd responses to fear on the Corvid illness.

I am not trying to he stupid here, but if an employer cant tell their employees what to do as a component of their employment, then could some employee just show up to work nekked and the employer has no recourse against that employee?

I realize most on here are not employers, but you have to be able to see both sides of the argument…the employer provides the opportunity for employment with certain criteria for the employees. It is a two way street, the employees provide their services under those criteria for the employer in exchange for the employer paying and providing benefits for the employee.

Quite honestly anyone who is here saying the employer can not force an employee to do something as a criteria of their employment is stating some pretty un-american values. If an employee doesn’t like the criteria, they can find another job. The way some of you are talking makes me think you believe employment is a fundamental right and taking that a step further means you believe in UBI.

In the end, it's all about how reasonable something is. Even though Texas is an at-will state, there are limits to what employers can require employees to do. Your example of showing up to work naked is a good example. If an employer required someone to come to work naked, that wouldn't fly in any court. I realize that example sounds goofy on the surface, but in principle it is relevant.
From a legal perspective, I would be interested to see how the higher courts would rule on requiring employees to get vaccines that are not FDA approved. I think that is where the line is (approved vs. non-approved). Just my opinion of course.
