# Texas Right-to-Work Law

## The right-to-work sentence was not reconfirmed.

## The rule

The August 2025 article said Texas is a right-to-work state. This review did not open the statute, so the sentence is left as it was.

## Wording left as it was

This review could not confirm the next point from an official source, so it is unchanged:

TX is a right-to-work state.

## What employers must do

Do not describe union-security rules to a client from the one-line article. Check the statute or ask counsel.

## Effective dates

No January 1, 2027 change was confirmed.

## What this means for BOSS partners and associates

BOSS is often the employer of record for the associate. Wage, break, leave, posting, and tax rules usually follow the state where the associate works. Tell BOSS that state before the assignment starts. Associates should record every hour worked on the timesheet. Do not promise a pay practice, a leave bank, or a posting the statute does not require.
