Here is the Texas Labor Code that applies to keeping a gun in your car at work. My attorney says this is a little unique in the Labor Code in that it does not speak about the punishment for an employer that violates an employee's rights under this section. Most of the other sections define a criminal or civil penalty for violating the labor code. He says if you get fired, you'd have to sue to try to get your job back.

Yes, there is risk. But if you win you recover all legal fees as well as damages.Most attorney's offer a free first consultation. Once most people hear what the costs are associated with bringing a lawsuit against a former employer, and realize the odds are in favor of not winning the lawsuit and still having spent a large sum of money, most people conclude it's just not worth the effort, the time and especially the money.
And for these reasons, many companies get away with the things they do. Most people have other more important things that they need to spend their money on, like the rent or the house payment, groceries, utilities, children, car payment and ect. And if a person was fired for violating a company policy, usually their time and effort are spent trying to find another decent paying job.

Good counsel will advise you on the probability of success.
This is the third or fourth time in this thread you've derided the contributions of knowledgeable forum members and no one is agreeing with you. Can you not take the hint?I am quite amazed to find the ambulance chasers had time from their busy schedules to respond as they did on this thread!
I figured they would be too busy racking up hours on some silly class-action lawsuit to take time to reply as much as they did here.
