Employee Rights Pamphlets
Handouts for Pro Se Litigants Return to TLSC Home PageThe following materials have been developed by Bexar County Legal Aid's Employee Rights Project to address the underserved legal needs of low-income employees in the San Antonio area. The materials include basic information about the rights of employees under Texas law and resources for employees who are pursuing legal claims in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas without the help of an attorney ("pro se").
Disclaimer: The information presented in these pages is for educational purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice. Every case is different, and the correct legal answer always depends on the facts of the individual case. If you want a legal opinion about your own employment law problem, you should seek help from a licensed attorney.
The Employee Rights Project has developed six pamphlets on basic legal issues that affect Texas employees. These pamphlets may be downloaded and reproduced for any non-commercial purpose, as long as authorship is credited to the Bexar County Legal Aid Association.
As an educational resource for workers and for legal services staff, ERP also recommends the Worker's Rights Curriculum developed by the National Immigration Law Center and the AFL-CIO. The curriculum and instructor's handbook contain excellent information about Federal employment law issues with a particular emphasis on the rights of immigrant workers. For more information, contact the National Immigration Law Center, 1102 S. Crenshaw Boulevard, Suite 101, Los Angeles, CA 90019; 213/938-6452 (phone) or 213/964-7940.
The Employee Rights Project has developed a series of handouts for employment discrimination litigants who have filed suit in federal court pro se (without an attorney) after receiving a right to sue letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. These handouts may be downloaded and reproduced for any non-commercial purpose, as long as authorship is credited to the Bexar County Legal Aid Association.
WARNING: These materials give specific information about the procedures that a litigant must follow in a suit in the San Antonio Division of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. Different requirements may apply under the Local Rules and standing orders of other federal courts outside the Western District of Texas.
The Employee Rights Project is an Americorps*VISTA project of the Bexar County Legal Aid Association. The mission of the Project is to provide support, and in some cases, representation, for low-income employees who live in Bexar County, Texas. If you are a resident of Bexar County and you have legal questions or need representation, please contact the Employee Rights Project at (210) 922-5893 or bcla-ss@swbell.net for more information.
