The Texas Whistleblower Act
The Texas Whistleblower Act protects anyone who reports fraudulent or illegal actions taken by a city or public employer (or employee), provided that the complaint was filed “in good faith.” This means that the reporting individual must have had a justified reason to believe that the city or public agency was acting in violation of the law. In this act, “law” may apply to any one of the following:
- State or federal statute
- Ordinance of local government
- Rule or regulation adopted under a statute or ordinance
Under this act, all cases of fraud should also be reported to “an appropriate law enforcement official,” which includes officials employed by the state or federal government who are authorized to regulate and enforce the law, as well as investigate potential violations of the law.
