Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Texas

I just found out about false info on my background put there by the county of galveston that has stopped me from getting employment for over 10 yrs. I was working for a company then they sent me a letter saying they could no longer offer me employment along with the false info on my background that they found. This false info has stopped me from gaining employment can I sue.

You should send them a demand letter first (paper letter - certified mail - put a date on it - keep a copy - demand that they stop lying about you).
