Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

I applied for unemployment benefits in VA and was denied. I relocated to Texas as ailing art spouse with a PCS order when I filed that was my reason. The section they references was that I had voluntarily quit and moved to be with spouse....I am going to appeal what can I argue as a legitimate reason?

I worked in VA for three Years and feel that I contributed and deserve unemployment under a good cause clause because I would not keep my family separated and I had no choice but to quit so how is that voluntary? Please help

It is voluntary because your employer did not fire you. That would be an involuntary termination. Based on the facts you have provided, you voluntarily terminated your employment. In Texas it is highly unlikely that you would prevail on such an appeal. You may want to speak with a VA employment lawyer about whether VA law would support your appeal.
