Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

Last week I got hired with a new company. However today while I at work my former employer walked in because she is a patient of my current employer. Upon her seeing me she requested to see speak with my manager. She informed my current manager that I was her former employee and that I was terminated and that I was not eligible for re-hire. Which resulted in my termination at the end of the day. Is this legal?
