Fort Worth Sexual
Harassment Lawyer
Standing up for workers facing harassment and retaliation
No one should have to choose between a paycheck and personal dignity. If you are dealing with unwanted touching, sexual comments, pressure for dates, explicit messages, or retaliation after you said no, that is not just unprofessional — it may be illegal. We are here to listen, explain your options in plain language, and fight to protect your job, your health, and your future.
What sexual harassment is under Texas and federal law
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title VII and the Texas Labor Code Chapter 21. It can involve women, men, and nonbinary workers, and it can be same-sex or opposite-sex. Harassment becomes unlawful when it is severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile work environment or when a supervisor conditions job benefits on sexual conduct (quid pro quo).
Employers are responsible for stopping harassment by supervisors and must act promptly to stop coworker or third-party harassment once they know or should know.
- Rear-end collisions at signals and stop signs
- Side-impact crashes when a driver runs a red light or fails to yield
- High-speed lane-departure wrecks on freeways and frontage roads
Common forms of sexual harassment
Quid Pro Quo
- Demands for dates or sexual favors in exchange for shifts, promotions, or continued employment
- Threats of discipline, demotion, or termination if you refuse
Hostile Work Environment
- Unwanted touching or invasion of personal space
- Sexual comments, “jokes,” or repeated remarks about your body or clothing
- Displaying or sending explicit images, links, or memes
- Persistent requests for dates after you decline
- Sexual rumors, stalking, or sexual favoritism
- Harassment tied to pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, or nonconformity with gender stereotypes
Retaliation is illegal
- Cuts to hours, bad shifts, demotion, write-ups, or termination because you reported harassment or helped with an investigation
Your rights and the complaint process
Most claims must start with a charge to the EEOC or the Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division. Deadlines can be short — as little as 180 days, and often up to 300 days in Texas. Other related claims (like assault, wage issues, or contract disputes) may have different timelines. Contact us quickly so we can protect your rights.
How we build your case
We move fast to secure evidence employers control.
- Documents and data: emails, texts, chat logs, DMs, calendars, performance reviews, schedules, and policy manuals
- Witnesses: coworkers, supervisors, customers, or vendors who saw or heard the conduct
- Comparator proof: how others were treated for similar conduct or complaints
- Prior complaints and training: HR files, hot-line records, training rosters, and investigation reports
- Digital forensics: metadata and audit trails where needed
- Agency representation: we draft charges, respond to employer position statements, and navigate mediation and right-to-sue letters
What your recovery can include
- Back pay and lost benefits
- Reinstatement or front pay if reinstatement is not feasible
- Compensatory damages for emotional distress
- Punitive or liquidated damages where the law allows
- Attorneys’ fees and court costs
- Policy changes and training to prevent future harassment
We do not accept quick offers that ignore the full impact on your career and well-being. We fight for every dollar you deserve.
What to do now
- 1. Write a timeline of what happened — dates, times, locations, names, and exact words or actions
- 2. Save evidence: emails, texts, chats, screenshots, photos, and voicemails
- 3. Report in writing through company channels and keep copies (if safe to do so)
- 4. Seek medical or counseling care if you were assaulted or need support
- 5. Do not sign a severance or NDA until we review it
- 6. Call us promptly so short filing deadlines do not pass
