Texas is a one-party consent state, which means that only one person in a conversation needs to consent to the recording for it to be legal. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, it is illegal to record a conversation if you are doing so for the purpose of blackmail or extortion. Additionally, some employers may have policies that prohibit employees from recording conversations in the workplace.
If you are fired for secretly recording a meeting between you and your boss, you may be able to file a lawsuit for wrongful termination. However, it is important to note that Texas is an "at-will" employment state, which means that employers can fire employees for any reason, as long as it is not discriminatory. This means that you may have difficulty proving that you were fired for recording the meeting, rather than for some other reason.
If you are concerned about being fired for recording a conversation in the workplace, you should consult with an attorney to discuss your rights.
