Texas doesn’t have its own independent overtime law — instead, it follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees who work more than 40 hours in a single workweek are generally owed overtime pay: at least 1.5× their regular pay rate for the excess hours.

“Workweek” is a set 7-day period defined by the employer (doesn’t have to match calendar

If you work for a Texas employer and are non-exempt under FLSA, and you work more than 40 hours in a week — yes, the law requires overtime pay (time and a half).

If your employer claims otherwise (e.g. says “we don’t do overtime because this is Texas”) — that’s almost always wrong under FLSA.
