Re: law enforcement overtime

Based on what you have written, it appears that you may have a claim against your employer for violating the Texas Labor Code (TLC) and potentially the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Note that there are "exemptions" within the TLC and FLSA, which may allow for your employer to be exempt from paying you overtime. My law firm would require more specific facts to properly advise you. If my law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]) to schedule a free initial consultation.
