I recommend that you contact the Texas Department Of Labor -- Employee Hotline at: 800-832-2829 to find out what your husband's rights and options are in this situation. Specifically ask them if your husband can file a wage complaint.

Although it would be illegal for them to fire him for filing a complaint -- that is not to say that it could not happen.

Still, I think that you should contact the Texas Labor Department -- they will be able to tell you if the company's actions are out of line. If so, they should also be able to advise you regarding your understandable concern about dismissal, if a complaint is filed.
