Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Texas

My old employer was so unethical that I'm still hurt and angry about it.

He never had me fill out a W-2 or I-9 the week I worked there and then never put me back on the schedule.

I tried to contact him the next week, but I never heard anything back.

Then after about another week, he texted me and told me to bring in my identification so he could photograph it for the files. I refused so then he sent me the forms to print out and turn in. My fiancee turned in the W-2 and he text yelled at him for not including a copy of my ID.

After a few more days he started texting that if I bring in my ID for photographing, on his IPhone. I could get my check on the spot.

I went in with a b&w copy I payed for at kinkos and a letter requesting my tax information. He grabbed my ID copy and ran to the back room saying I'm not getting my check because of the tax info request.

The police were called but they said it was a civil matter.

He never asked for or saw the originals.

I feel harassed, lied to, and treated unethically. Is there anything I can do?

I really need help.

I apologize if this is written poorly

If you worked for him as an employee he is not only entitled to the information e sought, but he is REQUIRED by federal law to have it. My best advice to you---move on.
