An employer in Texas may not consider someone's disability when they make the decision to hire that person, their job assignments or whether they may advance in their position.

If the costs are reasonable, workers with disabilities are entitled to any special equipment needed for work from their employers. This is on top of the requirement to provide fair treatment.
