More details to this question:
I have been gone from a company for 5 years and I made a comment without using the word 'allegedly'. I am in Texas, can you tell me if I have any rights of free speech for this?
1 ANSWER
You have the right of free speech, but not the right of false speech, so if you knowingly made a false statement of fact that damages the business (I assume that your comment was about your former employer), you could be sued for dafamation. You also don't have the right of free speech if you agreed to a contract limiting it, for example if you signed a non-disparagement agreement.
