Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

My work bounced payroll checks and is not willing to pay us for that paycheck and paychecks after. He has since closed the company. Can I prevent him from selling off the equipment and not paying his employees. I am in Texas.

You need legal counsel NOW. There are too many unanswered questions for me to give you a good answer.

Here are my questions: 1/ Has the employer filed for bankruptcy protection. 2/ Who owns the equipment, corporation or individual 3/ How much $$$, and how many employees

If there is no bankruptcy filing then we are dealing with state law, and there are penalties he can be made to pay - civil and criminal. If there is a bankruptcy filing, what chapter 7, and did you get notice. You also have protection in this forum.

If you want to review the matter further in private, I can be reached at 281 704 6740, or [email protected]

The above is not either the acceptance of representation or the offering of legal advice, but merely a generalized response to a legal inquiry.

Do yourself a favor and call at an attorney, either me or someone else and know your rights.
