Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

deflamtion of character/slander

A trucking company that I was leased on to put me down as inedgible for rehire due to the terminal manager and I not getting along. He informed the company that I was hauling hot freight. Are there laws against this and the company also informed another party that I was not elgible for rehire due to the remark that was made regrading me hauling hot freight. This is not true what are the options that I have available to me.
