Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Texas

In most situations, the employer would need consent from the employee. However, be aware MANY large firms in Texas do this, especially oil companies. Some have a clause in their employee manual you signed when you were first hired that allow them to monitor and record internal and external phone calls. One I know off, has an entire department to listen in 100% and massive expensive big-brother machines that automatically scan through recordings looking for certain key words.

However, if there is no consent and it was a secret recording of a personal call, you may have had your legal rights to privacy violated. Talk to a lawyer if it is specific and meant to injure and did cause you injury or damages!
