Legal Question in Disability Law in Texas

Can I be fired or forced to retire?

If I have been working at my job for

the past 15 years and have

recently developed a disability, but

can still reasonably work, is it legal

for me to be forced to retire or fired

because of the disability?

Hello there,

You cannot be fired due to a disability. That would be discrimination.
