Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

Haven't received pay checks

My husband started a new job on January 2, 2002 and his previous job still owed him for two paychecks. He still has not receieved them. Everyone he talks to can't give him a straight answer has to why he still hasn't got them. He was paid by commission and isn't sure how much he should be expecting. Can he sue without knowing the exact amount and how much can he sue for?
