AUSTIN – State Representative Mike Villarreal of San Antonio today filed legislation [HB 238] to amend the Texas Labor Code in order to provide equal employment protections for gay and transgender employees.

Rep. Villarreal's legislation does not create a new statute. It simply adjusts the existing Texas Labor Code to protect gay and transgender employees, just as it currently protects people based on race, religion, sex, national origin, and disability.
