Under the U.S. Constitution, as well as Title VII of the U.S. Code, it is prohibited to discriminate on the basis of race in the state of Texas. Employers are barred according to theses laws from using race as a basis for hiring, recruitment, setting wage levels, or granting promotions.

What Must Be Proven in a Discrimination Claim?

The federal agency that is in charge of investigations of workplace discrimination is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Before taking issues to court, employees that have been discriminated against must file their claim with the EEOC. Discrimination based on race involves an employer who treats worker(s) differently than workers who are of another racial background.

To succeed on a claim of racial discrimination, the Round Rock plaintiff must further show that his employer acted with an intent to discriminate based on race or nationality. The employer's intent can often be shown by showing that other people of different races were treated preferentially.

How Can a Round Rock Lawyer Help with My Claim?

Depending on where you file your claim, the procedural laws will vary considerably, and so a Round Rock lawyer will help familiarize you with the requirements for your district. Should you decide to file your claim at the EEOC, a Texas lawyer will be able to help you out, and they can also point you towards other forms of remedies available to you while your claim is pending.
