Legal Question in Disability Law in Texas
Can I be fired or forced to retire?
If I have been working at my job for
the past 15 years and have
recently developed a disability, but
can still reasonably work, is it legal
for me to be forced to retire or fired
because of the disability?

yes you can be fired etc and then you have to prove the firing was not justified because of a disability..AND you must be working for a large company

Hello there,
You cannot be fired due to a disability. That would be discrimination.
