Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

employment as a teller when filed bankruptcy durig divorce

Is it discrimination or is there a law that prevents a bank from hiring a person as a teller for the reason that you as a person during a divorce had to file bankruptcy? They gave this reason as to why this person could not be hired and we would like to know if this is legal reason for them to do this or is it a form of discrimination? They specifically was told this was why they were not hired was because they had filed bankruptcy before by the bank.
