In Texas, women are protected from any discrimination in the workplace due to pregnancy. You cannot be fired, disciplined or treated differently due to pregnancy. However, Texas state laws have no maternity leave requirements. The only maternity leave requirements in place are at the federal level under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Under this law, certain companies are required to give 12 weeks off in a 12-month period for certain health-related needs, including pregnancy. For a company to fall under FMLA standards, it must have at least 50 employees for at least 20 weeks of current calendar year or the immediately preceding calendar year.<ref>[http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/resources/disability/disability-rights/maternity-leave-rights-in-texas# Maternity Leave Rights In Texas]</ref> You must also have worked at your company for at least 12 months and for a total of 1,250 hours (within the 12 month period preceding the time off) in order to be covered.
