Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

Severance package as regards to sexaual harrasment.

Do I have a right to to ask for a severance pay if I voluntarily leave a job that I was sexually harrassed by my owner? I have had no problems with the company or my job but now that this has happened I feel uncomfortable. I feel like because I have to leave my job unplanned and prepared I should get a severance package but I dont want to break any laws by asking.
