Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Texas

Sexual harassment

I worked at Kelly's in Houston for months and was constantly harassed sexually from verbal to groping incidents, so were other waitresses. When we complained to management there was no disciplinary action taken against the cooks/dishwashers who did things. I had to quit because of the poor work environment.What can I do?

Re: Sexual harassment

Based on the information that you have provided, there is the possibility you might have a sexual harassment cause of action. Under Texas law, sexual harassment claims generally take either of two forms: (i) quid pro quo harassment, in which employment benefits are conditioned on sexual favors; or (ii) harassment that creates a hostile or offensive work environment. Also, know that there are statutory caps on damages, which are commensurate with the size of the employer. If you would like assistance with pursuing this cause of action of another legal matter, please contact my paralegal Jennifer at [email protected] with your contact information.
