Texas civil rights laws protect against discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, age, and disability, with enforcement primarily through the Texas Workforce Commission and federal agencies. LGBTQ+ protections are not codified at the state level but are often secured through court challenges or local ordinances. Issues like voting access, border enforcement, and education equity frequently drive civil rights litigation. In a state marked by legal contrasts and strong regional identities, civil rights attorneys are essential to ensuring that protections are enforced across every community.
