EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES: AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT

The employment-at-will doctrine is the law of Texas, under which

an employer has no duty to an employee regarding continuation of

employment. Jones v. Legal Copy Inc., 846 S.W.2d 922 (Tex.

App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1993, no writ)

The employment-at-will doctrine places no duties on an employer

regarding an employee’s continued employment and thus bars

contract and tort claims based on the decision to discharge an em-

ployee. Sabine Pilot Serv., Inc. v. Hauck, 687 S.W.2d 733 (Tex.

1985)

In Texas, at-will employment is presumed unless shown otherwise.

Gonzales v. Galveston Indep. Sch. Dist., 865 F. Supp. 1241 (S.D.

Tex. 1994)
