Texas and Federal laws both protect individuals with disabilities from discrimination in the workplace. The various laws ensure that disabled individuals in Houston have an equal opportunity to get hired and obtain promotions in their choice of field. Disability laws also require employers to include reasonable accomodations in order that disabled people may properly perform their job.

Texas Employment for the Disabled

Discriminating against the disabled is prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), whether the employer is a government agency or a private employer. When making decisions regarding hiring, job assignment, or promotions, employers in Texas cannot consider a person's disability.

Employers in Houston must also provide any special equipment that the disabled person may require for performing duites, so long costs are reasonable. This is in addition to providing fair treatment. The act also prohibits discrimination against someone based on their relation to a person with a disability that poses special needs.
